Re: partcombine and quote don't play well together

I thought that might be it…

Coincidentally, I've long wanted to help spearhead and sponsor a "Grand Unified 
Partcombine Project".
(Searching on the list, it seems like 2009 was my first "official" call for 
such a thing.)

Questions:

1. Is there some technical/coding reason that the principles of the two 
mechanisms *must* be incompatible? Put another way, could one (or both) be 
tweaked — or even rewritten (mostly or entirely) — such that the two mechanisms 
*aren't* incompatible?

2. Am I the only one who wants a killer part-combining framework? Is nobody 
else using it as much as I am (even in its highly-limited current state)?

3. Are there any programmers out there willing to work with me towards a really 
great partcombiner?

Thanks,
Kieren.
