You sound like me: always seeing what is yet left to be done. From my point

Remember that we have implemented pre and post functions in engine modeling.
That is, any arbitrary function can be defined and set to execute either
before or after the main engine model code. That won't help if the
appropriate properties are not exposed, though, of course. Do you have a
list of which properties you still need from the engine model?
