Yes, RJF has suggested something similar and I think you're both
right. I'll try to throw together some patches that add an "MOBJECT"
type that gets tested for in functions like meqp, but then uses generic
function dispatch. I probably won't pester the list with it until
there's some more code that uses it though: I'd like to check I'm not
introducing horrible bugs with no point :-)
