well, maybe you have to think about that for another ten years ...
perhaps you find a design ... if not ... think about it for another 10
years ... 

iirc it took more than 500 years after the fibonacci numbers has been
defined to find a direct (non-recursive way) to compute elements
... how long took it to prove fermat's last theorem?

maybe there is a superior design, that will be thought of in 30 or 300 
years ... still, i'd prefer a non-optimal solution until then ...
