It seemed like a good way of doing some coding, just looking at code
doesn't work for me.  If your implementation is already done, great!
Let's have it.  :) I wasn't sure wether it already worked, wether it
was "done" or wether it was in the very early stages only.

No, I explicitly wanted a model for the C code, a prototype.
Something that can be analysed and fixed without recompiling Emacs.
