No idea. Its not like I can code the idea. lol

Frankly, I kind of wanted either a) that won't work at all, or b) it is 
an interesting idea. A long laundry list about why I could solve the 
same problems with a mess of other features was "not" what I was after. 
As I said, I rethought it several times. Its possible that it isn't 
possible and a totally pointless idea, if I knew enough to realize it. 
Telling me I can "sort of" get the same result I envisioned with other 
stuff or a bit like saying, "You can sort of make a flying car of you 
strap wings and a jet engine on a VW Bug.", without bothering to say why 
using a VW Bug is a better alternative that just building a flying car. 
One good reason might be, "It won't work anyway.", but that's not what I 
ended up with. ;)
