+[13:16]        mst     stevan: slight problem with coerce
+[13:16]        mst     I only get to declare it once
+[13:17]        mst     so if I'm trying to declare it cast-style per-source-class rather than per-target-class
+[13:17]        mst     I am extremely screwed
+[13:17]        stevan  yes
+[13:17]        stevan  they are not class specific 
+[13:18]        stevan  they are attached to the type constraint itself
+[13:18]        *       stevan ponders anon-coercion-metaobjects
+[13:18]        mst     yes, that's fine
+[13:19]        mst     but when I declare a class
+[13:19]        mst     I want to be able to say "this class coerces to X type via <this>"
+[13:19]        stevan  yeah something like that
+[13:19]        stevan  oh,.. hmm
+[13:20]        stevan  sort of like inflate/deflate?
