That's a lot of code, but the use cases are summarized in two lines?!?

I would like to see a lot more elaboration what these uses cases are (I
recognize the words, but do we have the same interpretation of them?)
and how they would be addressed by what you are proposing, and better
yet an actual implementation of something useful, rather than just a
dummy test module.
