Perhaps maybe taking a look at Hydra in the future pretty much comprises
the uptake I've seen of Hydra in the mud community :)  But to be honest,
to take full advantage you have to design for it from the bottom up, and
even the kernel library is not sufficient.

I have followed your suggestion, but it's time to start weaning yourself
away from strings longer than 64K.  Take a look at /lib/String in the
cloud library to see in which direction I think you should be moving.
