Well the clause stuff is what handles the ui and ba'e stuff as well
which I don't count as a morpholgy interface issue at all. To me the
morph interface stuff is the different stuff prefixed by NORATS or has
&{ .. } . I also think the magic word stuff is a pretty important part
of the whole system.

I do think that the whole foo-clause stuff could use some real clean up.
A lot of it is schematic and those should likely be collected into one
place, and the things which get special handling should all be grouped
togethe; right now it's all mixed together by just using an alphabetic
order.

You can do that if you want, I'd also suggest that you document you
changes on your web page.

I also thank you for your efforts, I think it will be very helpful.
