It's highly unlikely it'll be easier for just BBVias.  I believe
there's already an experimental branch that implements them.  Igor is
likely to decide to implement them again while we all talk about it.
For containers to pay off several other applications for them would
need to exist and be important enough to get implemented.  What are
they?
