After I wrote that, I had the nagging thought that none of those in fact worked just as I wanted, and worse, they were Not Invented Here (TM). Thus, I proceeded to write my own: https://gist.github.com/nobrowser/dfeb275f3273d1e3887c2a24e6f596a6 -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
