Completed and on git master. This will be in the 1.5.2 upload to experimental later this week, following some testing of the release as a whole (the custom type is now fully functional). It's taken four years to get to this point (PhDs do get in the way of hacking!) but hopefully you'll find it useful, and I'm sure it will be useful for others. If you're still interested in a git chroot type, this will be one way of experimenting with it without the need to write any C++ code while prototyping the concept. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
