[recursive]

Even in that meaning, it still doesn't make sense. Say there was an abstracted twitter standard defined in an RFC, and a library was provided for interacting with it. There is no Twitter(tm), just implementations of the twitter RFC.

Even then, I need to know what the names of the properties are that I have to provide to the fantasy-land-compliant-whatever. Being an expert in fantasy land doesn't tell me that "message" is the property that contains the body of the twitter-compliant message. I still need an api.
