A primary reason for the plip was the exposure of apidoc within Plone.

Also, iirc, yuppie was talking about creating a more general framework 
for using stub interfaces, and it would be nice to roll all of these 
efforts into one at the lowest possible level.

re: dependencies, the one dependency that makes Flon currently plone 
centric is it's dependence on Plone's interface tool, which it extends 
to allow for the inspection of the new style of interfaces.

Implementing this tool as a utility and making it backwardly compatible 
(ie available from getToolByName) might be useful for everyone, and not 
further pollute the portal root with damn tool objects.
