O.k. I'll see how far I get with that -- probably you're right and I
won't need it right now.

Think so -- this one confused me. I'm not sure how much better blob is
-- reading it by itself, I wouldn't be able to assign *any* meaning to
it (except, maybe Binary Large OBject, which you *don't* mean). Thing
has already another meaning in ZZ already; what about "rendered
thing/object/<something>?"

Very good. I'll dive into the code tomorrow, and send you a report as

when this'll happen).
