I agree with this. However, the suggestion was to improve the casting
process, not to store complete account info in spells. Mapping between
accounts and number-ids can be kept centrally, but the instruction to
create a specific account/group may be part of the spell in a systematic
way. In comparison with init scripts, central ID map and installation
routine would be similar to smgl_init code included in every script, but
having some kind of pointer to create an account in a spell would be
equal to presence of init.d/<script> and init.d/<script>.conf files.
