   I expect that any project that gets pushed on the list will
   draw interest from some people who might equally well have
   got excited about a different project.

I'll take this as my cue, i suppose.  Public apology: In 2002
(or thereabouts), i volunteered to add these features, and made
an experimental change in ‘current-column’ to return a float,
with the intent of continuing "inwards" to convert the simple
counting to an iterator-based summation.  Then, i stopped
hacking (at column 0, so to speak), distracted by Guile (et al)
and other life events.  I lost my way and am sorry for that.
