i started down that path yesterday afternoon, and realized that it
wasn't clear to me how i needed to invoke it.  it seems to want
to be imported before you start the rest of your program, which
sort of forces you into interactive mode.  is that your understanding?
i had been hoping to be able to "attach" to the sugar shell process,
in the way one might do with gdb.  perhaps that's not possible.

btw, i continued doing monitoring of the machines i had running:
i need to look again after they've been running overnight when i
get to the office, but the growth i was seeing may be network related,
as tomeu suggested yesterday.  (i had at least one case of no growth
at all when i had disabled the wireless.)
