This is fine with me, since it reads like something
that really can be built upon the channel model
which is about to being built.

You did!

Do you think it would make sense to make these into the
basic channel implementations, or do you think we should
keep the current ones (with extension) and build your's
upon them?
Do you think efficiency would be reasonably better?
Do you think the C implementation could get simpler?
If so, I'd like to try it!
