indeed -- in-the-server transformation seems so ugly, and yet we haven't
figured out how to do it out-of-server. It's not a motivating situation,
I'm afraid.

I do think that an in-the-server implementation would be straightforward
though. Having someone construct a semantic proposal and read through
the core protocol to figure out what effect it would have on each
request would be a huge asset at this point; knowing what to do is
probably well more than half of this particular task.
