Thank you for closing it.

For the record I am currently working on it simply unsure if I should submit
WIP patches and add noise to the list or wait until it is in a state that I
feel that the comments have been addressed.

A new version that I feel that is in a decent enough state for review should
be ready within this week. I am happy to drop the patch if you think I should
not work on it though.

Cheers,
