I have been dragged away from my use of C* to do other things... so I don't
have the time to work on the plugin that I would like to have... (my
working theory is that once you have kids you can have maybe 1.5 hobbies
outside of work... those hobbies could be: watching a TV series; a sport;
working on an OSS project; maintaining a relationship with your significant
other; doing work from home; etc... Given that I am training for the
marathon in Oct that leaves perhaps 0.5 of a hobby for my wife... OSS
projects are not getting much of a look in until after I finish the Dublin
Marathon!)

Patches are welcome. Patches with integration tests are very welcome.
