That is exactly what I did.
And because of this difference I supposed the templates (where the 
default alwaysBuffer of the templateStack is lodged) were not hidden in 
the engine itself. And this made me wonder why you called this <the 
opportunity to improve *the engine itself*>

So I seem not to be grasping the point.
I look at  MC and RR as stacks interacting with an engine (and from a 
low level point of view :-).
But because of things said on the lists  the impression is growing that 
what is called the engine, is something composed of stacks and the 
engine. Where are the borders between the IDE, stacks and the engine?

And you are doing a great job.
(and I still prefer MC over RR)
