I don't think we should delete the simple market model.  It is a 
simple demonstration of the impact of "perfect information" and
why many definitions of "complexity" require imperfect information.

Simple examples of this point are hard to come by.... especially with
the number of windbags that talk about "complexity".

But, adding the artificial stock market to swarmapps is a good idea.

Swarm-hackers is the only other relevant place.  But, I suspect that's
more for things like libtool finesse.
