The applitudes need global ids. After that, it's just
(nile applitude id)-(nile-specific-dim-id).

A clone of that cell.
Oh, you mean Java code ;)
It'll be a cell stored in some variable, initialized somehow.

Sounds like a tradeoff where we restrict something but don't get
quite enough back.
Have to keep thinking about this.
