I just took a brief look at this long list.  You've done good work in
highlighting the required features.

Thanks for this offer.

I'm not sure when I'll get around to this.  I usually like to work one
one major project at a time.  But if you're willing to wait I'll get
around to it eventually.

OTOH, I would encourage you to start a new branch for "architectural"
changes.  I'll be willing to answer questions and provide hints for
how to proceed.  Indeed, for this kind of work, I would most likely do
something like the "naive" patch for the Meta key.

The code is too complex for *anyone* (including me) to understand in
such a way that the way forward is clear.  Instead, I would put in
traces and go from there.  So I would encourage you to dive in and see
what happens.  That's what I would do :-)  Don't let your supposed
"lack of understanding" get in the way.  I don't have that kind of
understanding either.

Edward
