I took over [this module][1] from Simon Cozens nearly 5 years ago
when [he gave away his modules][2], but never got around to any
of my ideas for it. What was I thinking? In hindsight, I don’t
get around to my own ideas for comparable lengths of time; I
should never have applied for it.

I did start a refactor at some point that’s still sitting in my
projects directory, but in all honesty I didn’t get very far
before losing steam. I even delayed writing this note, thinking
I’d get around to making my changes available, but they’re
insubstantial and unfinished and it really doesn’t matter any
more. There’s a patch in the RT queue that’s been sitting there
for years. I didn’t think the patch too great, but it would have
been better to apply it and release than leave it in limbo
waiting for a reformulation that I’d never get around to.

It is time to admit defeat. I’ve been a bad steward.

Is there anyone reading this who cares about the module? Want to
take it over?
