Frobs as things was an experiment that lived its life and from the
result of it I can say with much assurety that you do not want to do
it.  It is just too painfull without much gain.  While there are still
relics of the expirement around (wearable frobs), you dont want to use
them.  Objects in cold are plenty lightweight.
