>From a swift-purist perspective, you shouldn't be saying "I do not want to 
pass files around" without substantial justification (eg. evidence that it 
hurts performance - which it presumably does?). More interesting is to see 
how stuff works entirely file-based and figure out what is going wrong 
with that approach.

What you post sounds like there's some foldy stuff that has been talked 
about before - its probably interesting to talk about that a bit more - eg 
imagine if you could write what you are doing in SwiftScript and point out 
what is going wrong at the moment.
