First of, sincerest apologies for long absence, have had no bandwidth for past month or so to work on this, regardless finally moving this ahead, I've added a few simple examples based on adding a new column/group/type on the blog and would appreciate some feedback: http://mlefforts.blogspot.com/2014/04/introduction-this-proposal-will.html I'll keep adding more examples once I hear back from folks.Looking forward to moving this ahead.
