[Niklas Elmqvist:]

 &gt;This is also why I think some sort of bus-based message communication
 &gt;system is a Good Thing&lt;tm&gt;. It is a quite good abstraction in that it
 &gt;captures normal function calls, message queueing, RPC mechanisms and
 &gt;distributed proxy calls under one concept, while still not introducing too
 &gt;much inefficiency. It is much easier for a newbie developer to think of
 &gt;inter-module communication in terms of "here is a channel leading directly
 &gt;to this module you requested contact with" instead of having to learn the
 &gt;implementation details.

Call me dumb. Call me poor at abstraction. Please show me what you really
mean by this. Exactly *how* would it work? Go to as low a level as you
think I will need. Avoid assuming I'm good at C++, because I'm not.
Please?
