This is interesting. Sorry that I didn't notice it when replying
to Vincent's post. I'll check these out.

And Gambit seems to be the name of a great many things. ;) The Gambit
I know of is a companion to Fluent.

I've got a fair few points of reference for other embedded possibilities

experiment. :)
