You'll be surprised Rob, but not always what you (or me) consider to be
improvement is seen as an improvement.
People are different, they use libraries in different ways. For me a piece
of a code which I understand from a library is better than the library
itself.
This is the reason you can not convince people to write libraries based on
a set of rules, considered to be good.
If you really like what you're doing (and I think you like, because you
didn't do it else) you will still continue to do it, no mater if other
peoples will like or not what you've done.
:)
so keep the good work!
