We alesady have one. Just DEF a WWWInline. That will even let you re-name
things to avoid name conflicts.

That means each object you DEF must be in a separate file, but, given that
all the current transport methods available today (http, ftp, ...) deal only
with files, I think that's desiesable.

Besides the ability to put several objects in one file, what functionality
would your scheme give?
