Actually, it is is a library, or will be. The demos were one-offs, but the
XLinkFilter, LinkSet, and Link classes are definitely library code - and
will hopefully be worthy of real use fairly soon. I'm building demos
around them, which is definitely clarifying a lot of the functions the
library will need.

It's fun to take a week away from books...
