No, no!  Compromises make a bad hybrid.  Syntheses are needed for a good one.
(I learned this in Marxism class.)  Compromise would be like those old "macro"
systems for the Mac that recorded mouse clicks in pixel coordinates.

So for example, take that exchange-two-values thing you did in TT the other
night.  Does the corresponding Java code look like pixels, or does it look
like the way you'd program an exchange directly in Java?  (Well, I guess it
can't, exactly, but I'd settle for exch(a, b) where exch is a procedure you
supply that finds a nice vacant part of the screen.)
