   Well, Walter tried in the past and ArX is the result.

AFAIK, Tom was already maintaining larch/arch/tla/whatever at that
time.  And ArX was simply a silly fork because of differing opinions
about various stuff.  So I can't say that this was tried by Walter, if
anything, it was James Blackwell who tried it in the past.  But the
past isn't relevant here, so lets look into the future.
