    While I understand the benefits of the porposed modifications and taking
  into account that I'm just Random J. User (I'm in no way important to the
  project), I just wanted to say that I hate "behind the scenes" work. I usually
  find it fairly difficult to understand when I have to modify an
existing program.
  I hope you can make the "behind the scenes" work as explicit as possible.

    Thanks,
