I agree that it'd be preferable to make it work, but I'm not sure I can
commit to having it done in short order. I'm happy to work to prohibit
it, but if someone has a few spare cycles to make it actually work,
that'd be great.

In short, I agree with Magnus and feel like I'm more-or-less in the same
boat as he is (though slightly jealous as that's not actually physically
the case, for I hear he has a rather nice boat...).

Thanks!
