Which really does not come as a surprise to me: only a few persons at
SLC are really doing computations. For the rare ones who do, species
are just one tool among many others. They will only realize its
potential the *day* they will desperately need it directly, because
the standard libraries for dealing with trees, partitions, and friends
won't cover their particular need.

I don't mean to say that the average SLC thinks your work is useless.
It's more like "it's very good that someone is working on type-D'
schmurtz partition; but that's not my cup of tea".

On the other hand, those who will truly appreciate your work are the
combinatorial package developers, because those know that this is one
of the most fundamental tool, from which you can build a lot of the
rest.

Cheers,
                                        Nicolas
