        Wow - so. If we have something like this that can work well (and I can
imagine all manner of fun Java/GC integration problems - particulary if
we have real Java (with GC) + llvm-java (with GC) + python (with GC) ;-)
who owns what signal can become quite exciting).

        Anyhow - if we can get this going, I'd love to do it first with
LanguageTool: it's Java-ness is what is blocking us bundling that by
default, and it'd be great to solve that before the HSQLDB issues I
guess.

        Any interest in playing with a prototype there ?

        ATB,

                Michael.
