I know that a suggestion like mine is of no use at this stage of the 
project, but I was looking at differences in implementation between your FS 
and mine, and the LOCAL macro was the first thing I noticed :) 

I hope we can keep your and mine project linked somehow, because I like your 
ideas for future expansions, but I think I prefer mine on the core 
functionalities :)
