	I vaguely remember that too - I think it was some sort of
transient object support .... but its gone now in any case :-)

	Well, I'm hoping to catch all missing features with the GEP,
but the process by which I see this getting into the wild is:

	1) Get this GEP approved
	2) Implement any new requirements arising from the GEP
	3) Write a patch to integrate this into bonobo
	4) Merge into HEAD (hopefully in time for the 2.2 feature
	   freeze)
	5) Commit the bonobo patch
	6) Release, gather feedback and act on it ...

	Thanks for the comments ...

Good Luck,
Mark.
