That is what I was thinking. To be honest, I don't yet understand namespaces
enough to know if this would work, but in principle it seems like it should
be possible. It seems like the basic concepts are in place, with projects
(e.g. MVC projects and Morphic projects, so maybe a Morphic3Project in the
future), plus Environments to resolve the name space issues. This is something
to think about a year or so from now, meanwhile I am happy to see the innovation
in Cuis.
