How do I know two dimensions are same in two different ZZ spaces? Practically:
* how do I know two dimensions are same in slices?
* how do I reference dimensions in the code? (which dimension is d.nile?)

What about this: we start with each applitude having *one* dimension
that is used for designating that some stuff belongs to it -- e.g., Nile
has d.nile-special. Then, when an applitude view (say, nile) encounters
a connection to something else, it calls a method in the VobSet. The
VobSet searches all dimensions on the applitude table. When it finds a
connection, it calls the view of the applitude associated with that
dimension to show the connected piece.

Or wouldn't that be powerful enough?
