I assume the patch was rejected ?? Either the patch / idea / both did not meet your approval. If the patch was the problem, i am willing to redo it the "right way" (with some guidance of course). If the idea was the problem, i do see a use for it, albit a very niche one. If both were the problem, i shall just let this go into the dustbin of history.
