Today the situation looks different, but to me no less dissatisfying (one of
the main reasons to decide against the attractive system). The various biasing,
mixing and scaling functions should be available seperately as sub-modules.
This would enable significantly greater finesse in designing individual systems
of all sizes. As is is now I find these modules too arbitrary.
