Dear Ian, yes, ok to commit also from my side. (Or we will sort out between Patrick, Oliver, and me how to integrate the code you sent.)
This is really great. :-) Best wishes, Stefan > On 22 Dec 2016, at 08:46, Patrick Eriksson <patrick.eriks...@chalmers.se> > wrote: > > Hi Ian, > > A very nice Christmas gift! > > I am on vacation but could not stop myself to take a first look at your > additions.
