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...
