Hello Bardur, Thank you so much for the reference resource of JSR-310 and its design docs. I looked over it briefly and it is indeed very valuable.
It was listed in the wiki page, but the link was to the former home of it. I have updated it. Since nobody has claimed this module, I will start working on this module tomorrow Saturday. Is that OK? Please, please, I would love more comments and ideas. Will start asking for reviews once I have some code to show.
