Don't assume any point-of-view motivating these - just trying to figure out what this is : 1) Can you show us what this does? I didn't get it from the above description. Maybe show us input and output? 2) Can this be done with texen? 3) If so, what advantages does it have over texen? 4) If not, can you merge Texen and your tool?
