Any chance you could provide a simplified interface along the lines
discussed at length in

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/messages/36fe4224ced792ff,7824fe1d05b4f648,ffa0c9b33be25877,453e05fefa6610b4,79dd1925715e2b10,3c7c01a279f685f6,fc636d28f68f9266,78ac98a3c718caa4,4f3960a377f7eed1,99bd3fcd397cf7d1?thread_id=b901e483a6711f72&mode=thread&noheader=1&q=UI+hal+fulton#doc_36fe4224ced792ff

It basically let's Ruby code look structurally like the ui structure, and
uses some variation of dynamic binding to more cleanly define, override, and
lookup wide-ranging defaults.

I for one would gravitate strongly towards such a simplified interface ...
