Dunno, never seen one; nice theory though!

Maybe there are versions out there with twenty developers triggering
recompilations as they type and hovering over various objects for a
properties list? (Maybe setting breakpoints, debugging?) I'd be interested
in seeing that! ("Distributed" NetBeans^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Eclipse perhaps? I
think the IMM  team should should startup a project right now to find out.
Actually, I think it would be better (certainly cheaper in the long run) for
HP/VMS if they just paid themselves huge AIG-type "performance" bonuses and
fucked-off! There was "resignation", and what was the other option?)
