You got me thinking about extensions, Finn. I've written down my
thoughts in the Wiki [1]. I don't have time to implement the full extent
of my ideas right now, but I think I'll try to implement the PS
extensions in the way I outlined them on that page. If anyone wants more
information I can add some more detailed information on how I imagine to
implement this stuff. Additional thoughts welcome.
