I'm not sure I follow why the proposed patch must wait
for 1.7... it doesn't matter that much, but I just
wanted to know.  :)

I am almost finished with my redirection stuff (whew!)
but I wanted to add the container mapper stuff to HEAD
and test <redirector>s with multi-result mappers
before calling it done.  I have truly had to deal with
"write once, debug everywhere" with I/O and threading
issues, but I think I've got just about enough duct
tape in all the right places...

So where does this leave us with regard to the
container mapper stuff?  All clear?
