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.
