AFAICS, this not merely looks like mod_line_edit: the filter *is*
mod_line_edit, right down to the bucket manipulation logic used as
an example in The Book!  It's just missing a couple of minor features,
and has a slightly different configuration syntax.  The other difference
is 15 months "out there" in widespread use.

I'm even more confused now, because I thought you were with Covalent,
and I understood from Will that mod_line_edit was widely used by
clients of Covalent.  Please tell me what I'm missing?
