[elephant-devel] Issues adding to root

[Glenn Tarcea]

Just to follow up on this. I've been working with Leslie in the back  
ground (he's graciously taken the time to do some mentoring and  
reviews of code as well as to put up with some of my not so well  
thought out ideas :-) ). I have large pieces of Elephant switched over  
to CFFI, but largely due to my limited time have temporarily placed  
this on the back burner while working through a skiplist  
implementation with Leslie. I hope to get back to this project in the  
next couple of weeks. While it has not been quite as straight forward  
as I had anticipated (for example deftype assumptions) there isn't any  
reason (beyond spending some time on it) that I shouldn't be able to  
complete it.

Thanks,

Glenn
