I'll give this some thought. I'm on leave this week, but if I think of
something small I could rearrange using C++ I might give it a
shot. Laurent, I'm going to be a little hard to reach via irc, but
please feel encouraged to coordinate with me off-list if it'll help.

(In a perfect world, we'd be talking about something more like Rust
and not C++, but this ain't that world yet.)
