Guys, since I get X for free, I’m not expecting anything, and think it’s
really nice of you to do this work. But I’m not talking about
implementing some colorful clickables or display bling. I’m talking
about one of the most basic features. So basic it has its own ISO
standard. And also about 50 lines of code. Max.

What I meant to say is, that if it were my code, and yes I am a
professional programmer for 20 years now, I would be ashamed of
overlooking something like this. It’s a thing of pride. Maybe because I
see it as more fundamental than you.

I would also love to submit a patch. If the thing weren’t written in that horrible horrible excuse of a programming language called C. I know lots of languages, including Haskell (my favorite and main languages), but I have no intention in torturing myself with C-like languages.
Maybe if the thing was written in Haskell or OCaml, there would be more free time…

Whatever. Maybe I’ll save 50€ and send them to you to implement it. 1€ a
line should be enough, no? ;)
