This would be very bad for Navigator. Navigator shows multiple copies of
itself (as many as you like/can tolerate) and this is only possible because
everything is based on behaviors. Before I made the switch, Navigator was
limited to three copies of itself, because making any more caused Bad
Things to happen. It's been so long I don't remember the details, and
obviously that was back in version 5 or earlier, so things might have
changed, but regardless of how many gigabytes of RAM we have, duplicating
Navigator's code over and over again is problematic.

In short, "I can't go back, man! I won't!" :-)
