Where the hell is Blaise Thorne? Can we just find the guy, get him to finish it, and get the thing merged once and for all? Or just use some different implementation?

Some bugs still need to be fixed and then he needs to adjust the code to the points of criticism I had given. Most importantly however are the missing tests. Even if the feature would be perfectly fine and ready to merge I won't integrate it without enough tests that ensure me that we don't break it again with the next possible commit. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Regards, </div><div dir="auto">Sven </div><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
