"Around here" isn't "around there" ;)

As you can see, "core" == "fundamental" in the general sense, in a
statement not written specifically for the hacker community but for the
world at large. In many cases, taking one syllable rather than four is a
good thing, but sorry it led to confusion.

My schedule is completely out of whack, partly from taking the afternoon
off to cool down from the personal attacks being lobbed my direction.

Will pick things up as time permits, but we should have some code for
contrib/ in time for beta2, if it is acceptable to the community to put
it in there.
