Hmmm. You may have talked yourself into a job, apprentice. Because you
are absolutely right, and more motivated than I knew.
I may have over-exaggerated slightly..... but see below.
I was going to do SINGLESOCKET myself, but now that I think about it
that would be almost the next logical C task for you. I say "almost"
because it's more challenging than I would have picked in an ideal
world; OTOH you haven't screwed up anything I've thrown at you yet.
(Which fact is pretty impressive, by the way.)
Are you up for trying? "No" is an acceptable answer - I'm not certain
you're ready for this myself.
Yes, though I can't guarantee I won't be screaming for help at 10%
completion. Also it won't start till after SELF as this does not need to
be happening right before a release, and Hathi / SELF-prep must have
priority.
It would be what Marines call "good training" (evil laughter).
