Ah, thank you very much good sir.

I'm going to bump this, in the vain hopes that it invites some half-brained discussion (on what, I don't know, but will probably be SQ related) that hopefully leads to improvements (again, on what, I don't know, nor really care).

Also, to spite a certain someone.
