Happy, but spending more time of late with Quixote cousin QP.

There is something to be said for marketing. Not sure what, but
something ;-)

That's an interesting thought whether it goes anywhere or not.

What I like about QP is that it makes some decisions; I'd always loved big
chunks of Dulcinea and some of those made it to QP (site management).  I
don't mind QP being *nix specific and Durus dependent.

QP as a superset of Qx, on the surface sounds like a nice idea but is there
any support for doing the actual work and suffering the migration pain?
