I can't think of an elegant solution. I think we're approaching the limits of the software, beyond which we'd stub our toes trying to make it all things to all men. I'd like to close the PR, but if you have any great ideas that you think we won't stub our toes on, I'll leave it open. What say you? Ciao, Sheldon.
