  That doesn't mean I don't recognize them as bugs, just that I didn't
had time to go over them. There is apparently 2 logged problems:
   - one about "wildcarding" which is what you seems to have hit
   - one about interleave on top of interleave which is more due
     to a validation algorithm problem (which I know from the start,
     I wanted to experiemtn with a non-derivative algorithm).

  Which doesn't mean I don't want to fix it. It's recorded, it's public,
but it's not trivial and I had other stuff to do.

  So you're asserting his mail was sent only on the basis of politeness,
interesting ...

  No, this is extremely relevant, as a maintainer, especially for a library
and not a standalone program, I really need to build trust and have good
interaction with the people I need to work with, and so far you give me
no incentive to rely on you for an important part of the library. The 
technical aspect is only one part of a maintainer job, I'm not perfect
by any means either but seing the way you bash my code in public doesn't
suggest it's easy to deal with you.
