What's not to like about others doing the work?

More seriously, this is not a candidate for consensus but rather a deal
offer for Marc.  The price he has to pay is an open mind and likely
additional work, and the return offer is code/functionality that will
likely fulfill one of his needs.

Whether either result will be met with consensus and/or be fully
satisfactory to the other or the list members is an entirely different
question.  And, apart from the additional one-time work, each of us
should consider his own work satisfactory and not just swallow a toad
for the sake of getting the deal through.

I think we can get there.
