Thanks for the feedback, I agree!

Unfortunately I can't continue working on this right now. Even though
this is not such a large task, it still requires more attention than I
can afford at the moment. I intend to come back to it later, once I am
confident that I can do a good job without neglecting anything more
important. In the meantime, everyone should feel free to work on this
without me if they want.

Thanks for understanding,
