I'll raise my hand here.  I've been keenly interested in this for a
while, since it will make my UDF work much simpler.  I'm also getting my
feet wet in CAM, and I have the two CAM gurus nearby if things get too

I'm mainly raising my hand to take the abuse that will no doubt happen
once in a while.
