As far as the Anima charter goes (see subject line), we need to use the
use cases to *test* the Anima technical choices (when we make them)
against the real world. So eventually we'd need all kinds of use cases,
which is why the charter mentions a wide scope. But we need to start
with a finite task, which is why the charter mentions a couple
of specific cases.
