It's doable, I've done it, but your version is far from needing to address a few more edge cases. You *can* write a decent version without too much difficulty that will work as long as people follow certain obscure rules (i.e. stay away from the edge cases). That's basically what sorcery's first version was. But that'd be a very unusual user experience. It takes a whole lot more for something robust that can't be accidentally misused. And you will certainly need access to the source code.
