I'm happy to reach out to them in official capacity, but I'm not really
close enough to the code to be able to usefully discuss the issue with
them.  So I think it might be best to put some or all of you in Cc.

Before we do anything though, are we sure that it is faster to ask them
to do things for us, instead of, say, just sending a patch?  I'm not
sure how confident people are with hacking MPS, but if we are still
seriously entertaining the idea of a fork then maybe we should be, to
some extent.

If we do decide to contact them, I'm afraid that I don't have sufficient
context to accurately describe the proposed callback.  I would need to
ask someone to summarize the idea in sufficient detail so that we can
start a conversation.

Please let me know what you think is best here, and let's take it from
there.  Thanks.
