 *  SuperCore to perform API specific actions without there beingg
 *  "up-references" from the SuperCore to APIs.  If these referencesg
 *  were allowed in the implementation, the cohesion would be too high
 *  and adding an API would be more difficult.  The SuperCore is supposed
 *  to be largely independent of any API.
