Agreed.  I *like* the API as the SPI, but not to the point where
mechanisms can be used directly without the mechglue.  And that not so
much because of various problems that arise (think memory mgmt, though
in v3 we could fix most of these if we really wanted to) but because
there's no point: no one is going to that, because nobody really has
when they've had the choice even of using just one mechanism through the
mechglue.
