Please don't see what I wrote as a requirement.  Just take it into
consideration and see if it leads to something reasonable.  If you
feel that the result will not be significantly better, there's no need
to come up with yet another solution; I'd hate to ask you to do
redundant work unless my idea really happens to lead to an elegant
solution.

And thanks for your continued work on these matters, highly
appreciated.
