Hi I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you guys, I've been stuffed with work. I started to write about my changes but never finished, I'll try to get it out this week.
In general I think we can replace the existing functions as long as we keep the possibility to still input strings and get strings as output. Blobs are pretty new and the support between browsers is not the best. I'll get back later with a more detailed description and once I'm ready, I could potentially commit it to a separate branch.
