I keep wanting to think of "running" as "1" and "not running" as "0"; Which is causing me to have trouble with sub is_running, which, if I read it correctly, returns "0" if running. Whereas sub init sets an initial widget state of "0" and sub set_running sets them to "1"; However sub replace sets "out" to "0" ("out" to me indicating "out of the pool" i.e. running) and "in" (as in, back in the garage so to speak, or not running anymore) to "0";

So if is_running returns "0" if foo is running, I would do something like: 

if (is_running('foo')){ # because "1" means "no"
    set_running('foo');
}

which seems so unnatural that I'm sure I must be missing the point somewhere.
