update: no standard output should occur. Use datastructure errors instead, which allow you to post arbitrary text.

a 'grep' should be done to deal with this.

Hey Chris: I sort of want to reject this. Should we write up a quick paragraph for people on how we want the UI?

It depends - as discussed, we probably want to move to use python logging module and then we need this or equivalent code - given that this code already exists I say we should enforce it. If you don't want to do it we need to find someone who can...

This is just a good thing to toss to somebody else. But let me scan real quick. We really need to split up 'common' into 'common' and 'common_legacy'.

std::cout should be removed from everything outside of 'common'. Within 'common' should I just comment out all std::cout?
