I know you did send a message on this topic (ID:
<20080307101806.GA5809 at gmx.de>), but maybe it was a bit rough on the
edges (it started with "My implementation was not complete enough.",
before describing what this was about ;-)), and sounded like an
after-the-fact justification (the code was already in).

(I'm not offering much technical help for the moment, just giving my
impressions on the way you "introduced" us to this.)

Thanks,
Ludovic.
