The committee is forming a subcommittee to finalize committee membership,
which will then create a standard with which you can put things on top of
other things. The committee will be made up of thing-putters who each have
their own implementation, and we'll leave a good portion of the details
"implementation defined", and call it Common Thing.

We will then begin work on ANSI Common Thing, ISO Common Thing, Common Thing
the Thing 1,2,3,...N & you will still need to read the Steel Bank Common
Thing library to figure out the correct thing putter attributes...

And in the "Only Prolog programmers will find this funny" department:

Q: How many Prolog programmers does it take to change a lightbulb?

A: No.
 -- Ovid

   "By cosmic rule, as day yields night, so winter summer, war peace, plenty
famine. All things change. Air penetrates the lump of myrrh, until the
joining bodies die and rise again in smoke called incense."

   "Men do not know how that which is drawn in different directions
harmonises with itself. The harmonious structure of the world depends upon
opposite tension like that of the bow and the lyre."

   "This universe, which is the same for all, has not been made by any god
or man, but it always has been, is, and will be an ever-living fire,
kindling itself by regular measures and going out by regular measures"
-- Heraclitus
