Ok. I'll see what I can do. Most of it are obviously pure additions and should be fairly easy to add. But for example the changes to bind to support placeholder arguments and introducing value propagation in the Deferreds might require some more discussion. Happy to get some comments here.
I'll see if I can create an initial draft and get back.
