Sounds good! But I'm increasingly feeling that it's hard to understand 
the tradeoffs of a method without having a view to their behavior, like 
simulations. So if it turns out to be awful in practice, then perhaps 
I'll have to retract my statement :-)

On a broader level, I'm wondering if we should pool our simulators 
somehow to not duplciate the effort it takes to implement methods. But 
my own main simulator is not the prettiest of code, so I would have to 
clean that up first. And then I don't get much further than that!
