Nicely done. It reads much clearer now and I understand much more. I reckon
that's important for big grants such as this (and by "big", I mean
influential).

I noticed the sentence "add automated more tests", I think you meant "add
more automated tests".

That does fit the template, but that still leaves (at least to me)
something to be desired: how would I know you completed it? However, since
you've now added specifically what you want to add support for, it's much
clearer. :)

Good luck with the grant! :)
