But I guess that time this stuff was taught to you as "fiber bundles",
right? Oh, yes. Old times ;)

Well, besides the cute rhyme on "cyberspace" I had this analogy in mind
and that's why I called the extension languages "fibers". The
association is "fibers over a base space" or a base language as in this
case. The terms are not used strictly of course. I could not even say
what triviality could be in this context. But I still seek for an
acceptable glue mechanism which is beyond the scope of the current
first release :)
