I don't actually have any as I would have to study the code very
carefully so I could offer very specific, helpful suggestions that
directly reference Synopsis code, preferably as a patch to said code
that can be applied with standard automated tools designed for that sort
of thing.  If it became necessary to defend the suggestions I was
making, I might start quoting people who had really good arguments and
pointing at their websites if I couldn't helpfully summarize them
myself.

As it is, I don't feel I have a lot to contribute aside from distracting
Stefan from the task I would really like him to finish, which is getting
Synopsis working.  I may decide to undertake the task of helping him at
some point, but I don't feel the need for his tool strongly enough to
want to spend that kind of time right now, though that may change.

But, I'm perfectly happy to try to distract people who are just being
distractions themselves.
