I'm hoping that with the "register rewrite" it'll be much easier
to create a register for different data types just by creating
the appropriate data model. Granted, the original register was
an attempt to do that, but I dont think it was abstracted at
the right places.
I haven't looked at Chris' work to see how much easier it'll be....
But I'm still hopeful.
