1) Please put [classlib] or whatever sort token is appropriate.
2) To answer your question, yes, it would be very cool to post as JIRA
so people can see it and comment, and maybe get someone to help you.
I'd be happy to drop into svn somewhere so you and others can start
submitting patches against it.

Commented out as appropos. TO make it easy, just lift from any of the
