Ya, I was thinking for a while that may be Rev should have a Gestalt 
function. Those familiar with Mac OS Toobox will know that it is a 
function that takes a keyword and returns appropriate value, be it 
some hardware characteristic or some system setting. The list of 
keywords could be OS-specific, with some keywords working for all, 
and returning empty if not applicable or not defined.

We already have specialPaths function which does basically that but 
only for system-related paths. Gestalt could be its generic 
equivalent, allowing RR to add keywords as needed or requested by 
users.
