I think we don't; I think we want to give the SliceVersion to the Slicer
when it is created. The only thing is that we then need to pull it into the
space, somehow. The space could call Slicer.initialize() when all the components
are assembled together.

The problem is, Slicer is an AbstractSpace responsibility-- and if we do
initialize() at the end of AbstractSpace's constructor, ModularSpace's *Managers
won't be ready yet-- so we can't make connections etc.

Do you have a better idea?
