My apologies. Previous maintainers have cited solid, good, reasons
for rejecting similar ideas, and to be honest, I could clearly see
their points--I even agreed with them. That said, if you can
entertain the idea, I'll put together some thoughts and we'll see what
you think. Look for a follow-on email soon.

I've been working with/on such a system for a long time. I definitely
do have some ideas about it, and I know I can do it well. I'll
explain more in a forthcoming email.

I like the idea, and it makes sense. One small part of me says
YAGTNI, but that didn't stop me from abstracting the encoder from the
stream output in the first place ;). I'll give it a shot.
