It might surprise some who know me to hear this, but I agree with Dave
on this.  There's a huge gap between the single-frame mechanism and
going the whole hog.  Going all out does buy you some expressive
power, but at the cost of complicating everything.  If the simple
mechanism gives you most of what you want (and I feel it goes pretty
far), why commit to a lifetime of pain?
