Well, I will say there were some very old memories that got somewhat
awakened.  But definitely the thought that I need to approach elisp
development in a more efficient manner next time.

I sent my changes to the context mailing list looking for beta testers.
Unfortunately, the files are big enough to trigger a "needs blessing by

I have no recollection of doing so.  Possibly in the distant past.

The form I got to from your link says
        Please email the following information to [email protected]

Thanks for your help moving this forward.
