Yeah, rethink your design!

Seriously, you listed a number of features which are not really
features but implementation details and you haven't told us what your
original goals are which you think are fulfilled by these
implementation details. If you would clearly state what your goals are
(regardless of how it is implemented) I'm 100% certain a better
implementation can be found than the one you enumerated.

Cheers,
Daniel
