FYI, in the big picture, as one who has been there and done that writing 
code for a similarly open ended system about a bazillion years ago 
(before internet days), one of the intriguing things about PMwiki and 
similarly open ended language systems is how the language (from low to 
high levels) can be utilized in implementations that it wasn't initially 
intended by the software wyzards developing the project.

    * The sign of true wyzardry is when these sorts of features actually
      work without additional code touch up.
    * The sign of good wyzardry is when a few minor enhancements make it
      work.
    * The sign of BS Software wizardry is when the project can't
      possibly be modified without a significant rewrite... 

IMHO, while PMwiki has some issues, on a wyzardry scale of 1-10, it's 
above an 8.  In contemporary webware, that's exceptional...
