Hi Mark,

yes indeed, there's a TODO in the file in comments at the top. My own 
notes came as an afterthought, which is why it's in the patch overview. 
I can work towards some of these items in chere, now that I know there's 
someone to potentially accept my patches :)

If you want me to add this paragraph to code now - not a problem. Is it 
OK to attach it as a 5/5 patch to the current series? I think it could 
be applied out of order anyway, without conflicts.
