Right, the hard part is still missing. :-P

I can come up with simple examples, that's no problem -- it's just
code anyway. ;-)

But documentation is something else entirely. I don't feel comfortable
writing documentation on an incomplete implementation, but if anybody
wants to pick that up -- and take hints from the unit tests -- then
I'm all for it.

Come to think of it, unless we have either examples or documentation,
I don't think users will even trust an Alpha version that doesn't have
proper (or even improper) documentation. So let's hold that off until
we get some decent documentation and examples out. :-)

Divye/Allister, care to work on the documentation part? :-D
