Interim commit during refactoring. Pretty broken as a result of some cleanup but it will get straightened out very soon. The main thing I'm doing here is to remove backreferences from the object tree and make the API simpler, so that folks using the API screw up less. This means making the CLI code simpler as well. The serializer has also been overhauled so it's not as much bolted on, although I have some fixing to do to make it work entirely correctly. Wanted to check all of this in case someone decided to patch something else, making diffing really complex in the interim. I'd recommend not patching anything else to this code as I'm not close to done, really.
