That makes sense. The basic implementation is definitely short, just ~20
lines of code if you don't count comments etc. I can put the source code
available so that you can judge whether it's good to take further. I am
familiar with the documentation libraries you are using (Sphinx with Numpy
style docstrings) in Scikit-Learn, but that's further down the line.


Cheers,
Timo
