That would be nice, but I'm not going to have time to do it that way for 
the next release. There are too many complications to doing it that way 
for me to solve in the short amount of time I have to get this 
implemented, unfortunately.

It would, however, be a pretty cool project for an external contributor, 
with lots of interesting problems to solve :-)
