You can pass NULL to WENewViewWithCGContext(), and set up the context
later, at kEventControlDraw time, using WESetViewInfo() with the
weCGContext selector.

Using WASTE within an HIView context is possible, but not trivial
without access to the core C++ interface.  Fortunately, the next
release of WASTE will feature a built-in HIView wrapper.  Please
contact me privately if you'd like to test a pre-release version
of this "HIWASTEView".

They want to turn it into a one-way flow that they have entirely
monetized. I look at the collective human mind as a kind of
ecosystem. They want to clear cut it. They want to go into the
rainforest of human thought and mow the thing down.
