DarkWyrm and I have had several discussions about this idea in the 
distant past ;) and came to the conclusion that this would be one of the 
first refactorings to happen once we were at least feature-complete. 
Why wait?  Because it seems more important right now to just get 
everything written and working than concentrating on abstraction 
niceties. =)  The heavy use of friend throughout the API is pretty bogus.
