A few cold questions:

1) Did textdump ever get fixed?  Do we have a dumpsplit that works on the
   new format?

2) Is it true that user() has no useful or meaningful default before you
   issue a set_user()??  Wouldn't it make sense for the default value
   of user() to be the object that is at the top of the current call stack?

3) Efficiency question.  If I define a list and then reference it inside of
   multiple other lists is only 1 copy of the list created? What if I pass
   such a  reference to a different object? Does it still reference the
original
   list (this would make sense and be good behavior...)
