[SAGA-RG] SAGA Resource Package Comments

[Steve Fisher]

Andre,

I like the generality that a resource provides services - however I take
your point that it does make the users code more verbose. Perhaps
getService(capability) would do the trick where capability is the set of
capabilites that you require for the service. It provides at most one
service.
