Now that you mention it, it is so similar in functionality, my module could (or should) have been just a wrapper around it. It's just a pity I didn't find it when I was looking for the functionality, and I wonder how that can be.

The original name was kind of a private joke, regarding some problem I had with the real border police at the airport. But the joke is kind of lost if the module is released publicly, hence my request for name suggestions :) > So I would pick some name in Schedule:: that captures the mission > statement for your module, especially as distinct from the other > modules that already exist.
