Great!  This sounds like a simple solution (usually the best kind...<g>).

Would this work for a situation where a user manages "Projects" and "Bugs", 
i.e. uses the Whups framework to work with different contexts of data 
structured the "whups way", say with a Module-level (in whups parlance) 
setting which tells whups that one Module is in the "Bug" context and 
displays a "Bug" interface, but another Module is a "Project" and displays 
a "Project" interface, or is this just unreasonable.

The thing is, certainly, there are folks who manage Projects, Bugs, and 
People, and could benefit from using the whups framework across a number of 
contexts...
