Or maybe create one in another patch? Hi Mark, yes indeed, there's a TODO in the file in comments at the top. My own notes came as an afterthought, which is why it's in the patch overview. I can work towards some of these items in chere, now that I know there's someone to potentially accept my patches :) If you want me to add this paragraph to code now - not a problem. Is it OK to attach it as a 5/5 patch to the current series? I think it could be applied out of order anyway, without conflicts. -- Thanks, Vadim
