I saw the meanwhile many posts on this topic and want to clarify them here.

First, I welcome any git organization that you could do "on behalf of" me.

I appreciate any changes you make concerning the "modern boilerplate".
I don't need to confirm these; you certainly know better than me about it.

About the commented out code...
As recognized correctly it's part of the original source from NevilleD; I didn't
want to touch it to allow future extension based on that code. That means on
the other hand that I'm also not opposed to just removing this commented
out code. To keep the code clean is something I'd actually even prefer for a
public release! So feel free to remove that (experimental?) commented out
code.

My own contribution are all the 'match' expressions, thereby fixing existing
issues in NevilleD's contribution, making it more flexible concerning spacing
rules, largely extending supported identifiers to a contemporary version of
the Genie interpreter (March 2026), and some things I may have forgot.
Any "third party changes" on that part are actually what I'm interested to
know about, so that I'm sure we can rely on the correct functional matching.

I hope I covered all topics and questions mentioned recently in this thread.

Thanks!

Janis

How about I create the PR with the necessary changes for inclusion in
the distributed runtime and we'll commit that with attribution to you
after you approve it?  My changes will just be modernising some of the
boilerplate.

It's probably quicker for both of us this way.

Thanks,
Doug
