He has said that, given a better reason that licensing alone, he
*would* include it, so hence why I'm bothering with this whole
thing. I suspect that he doesn't care much about 'free as in
freedom' software, though, so I'm only *cautiously* optimistic.
Maybe put it up on github as a spork?
Though it seems quite simple the addition. :)
Yeah - it's basically like 20ish lines of Elisp, so I figure just
having it on my blog would be enough for now. Plus, I'm sad to
say that I actually don't know the sporking process in Git - my
knowledge of programming matters is rather patchy.
