So, I’m most definitely n̲o̲t̲ looking for algorithms.
That being said, after having read
http://crypto.2014.rump.cr.yp.to/3de41b60e32a494c8f0fc9c21c67063a.pdf
and the first ten pages (up to beginning of chapter 4) of
http://people.csail.mit.edu/rivest/pubs/RS14.pdf
I’m impressed (the stop symbol especially) and could consider
making this the basis of an aRC4 replacement. The documentation
appears good enough for implementing it myself, and it may be
possible even to implement it in constant-time which is important
in crypto nowadays.
Its 1732 bit state beats the about 1700 bit of aRC4, too ;)
although that is due to the increase in registers.

Glad to hear it :)
