nice to hear ;-)

agreed.

I totally agree with this. I would really prefer to defer this 
refactoring for month or so, so that I would be able to participate in
this, but If anynone was to  tried  he may go ahead and do it. it is
an open source project after  all. But I really have some specific
ideas on this, and   I believe the community will like the changes I
plan to do as I am thinking about them for a lot of time.

Even, If I don't fully agree with this, if the rest  of the core 
developers  think it is necessary, then
go ahead and do it ;-)

This is certainly  something I would   *love* to be improved during
february. It is extremely important.

I wanted to tackle this in time  for 0.28.0 but saddly I do not have
the time now :(
