Thanks meejah! Took a peek but they both look pretty old and it's
unclear to me how complete either got. If there's something in
particular you think is worthwhile integrating I'm all ears.

Actually, this uses a similar pattern as the rest of Stem in that cell
packing/unpacking is independent of the threaded socket. Just as you
could use stem.response for controller message parsing in txtorcon,
you can use stem.client.cell for cell packing/unpacking with a twisted
application too. That said, thanks for the reminder to keep this in
mind as we go.

Cheers! -Damian
