Yeah, that got caught up in unexpected holiday and/or moving continents;
by the time I'd got to it, I'd missed the feature freeze for 1.10, so
just shuffled it down my TODO list and moved on.  I could try again for
1.11, and am happy to maintain it.

I described my rough plan here:

Feedback/encouragement/discouragement welcome.

Cheers,
Daniel
