That's...because I was confused in the more recent email.  Very sorry.
Ignore that last one.

Good to know, on both counts.  Thanks.

Here's the originally scheduled programming: an earlier email from you.

In response, all I wanted to know was
a) in practical terms, does this mean the metatype string will be replaced
by, in essence, a sequence of metatype-like strings (the "label"
interfaces)?
b) does this also mean that the *actual* component interfaces, set up in
__implements__, will not be identifiable via a string representation (such
as a path that can accurately be translated to an interface object) in the
current plan?

Rationale for these questions (well, for the second question) was in the
very first email: I won't use up your bandwidth by repeating it, but would
be happy to elaborate if so requested.

Thanks
