Moving the data to a location that isn't Turing-complete would be a
benefit. Changing the processing backend to something different once
the declarative UI is in common use would be a lot easier than where
we are now. Even a 90% solution would be worthwhile here - we don't
*have* to cater for every use case in one go.
