Well, it's just 0.1 proof of concept. When Kostis and I have time, we'll
document it.

Yes, but it's not the easiest (in terms of time/communication overhead) option
for me. I've made the plugin in about an hour, plus "testing" and "tests"
modules - another two hours. It's three hours for the whole job. And I have full
control. This reduces the overhead drastically and I can go back to the primary
things like hyperjaxb3.

Bye.
