Was I really that unclear?

Hi, Tony,
Unfortunately, I think some of us *really really* need to see an example of the approach you're suggesting. I've seen you talk about it at least half a dozen times in various threads, and have never been able to figure out how to apply the solution you're suggesting. So please, please give an example like Russ requested!
From my perspective, the future of configuration lies in FRP. A reactive model is the only one that will allow you to safely make changes not merely at compile or load time, but at runtime where whole pieces of your system may need to be reloaded based upon a change to configuration.
