The problem is that what I'm looking for (and what started off this discussion)
is a data switch. A method of arbitrating who gets messages and what those
messages mean.

And while we're pouring on the analogies, consider a many-bladed swiss army

is better than most of the alternative knifes floating around, but right now
I'm trying to drive screws.
