Thanks for explaining, and thanks for your enthousiasm for the
build-improvemnts branch. I, too, was (pleasantly) surprised by your
attempt and of course would like results available to people as soon
as possible. But I fear that "pre-mature" testing with negative
results might make people turn away. Or the contrary.
Anyway, thank you!
