| On the one hand, I'm dissatisfied with the implementation of

I had this idea too once upon a time. See the sic mini-project built
in my book (.sig below). I think something of this ilk is the way forward.
Unfortunately, auto* are already very useful, and now that I've invested
the time in climbing the learning curve, I keep using them instead of
designing an alternative :-( I'll try and take a look at package-framework
RSN...

I'm in the process of teasing out the spaghetti inside libtool. Tell me
what you need and I'll see if I can't support it after the next libtool
release.
Cheers,
Gary.
