Hi,

Out of interest, that link says that doing it in usespace was rejected,
but doesn't give any references... I'd be interested to know why this
wasn't viable - since this seemed like the best fit at first glance -
most people will never use this, so no need to grow their kernel size
and complexity?

Cheers,

Tim.
