Thanks, I guess :-) I agree this probably long overdue, but its also
kinda boring (at least to me) which is why its taken me over 2 months
to actually get it done (of course i re-wrote it from scratch several
times along the way)

I was planning on waiting a week or so for comments to come in on the

if a discussion on the design is needed, and when a consensus is reached,
and how stable the code feels based on initial tests.
