I know that the high-level part is more exciting for you, but I think
that you will be more efficient if you start with the low-level part.
Also, reasonably speaking, the high-level part can only be included
in the main distribution, when the low-level part has been finished.
Unfortunately, in most large programs, there is at most 50% interesting
code and at least 50% boring code...
