6 Indeed it's not, but we *do* have a reference implementation and lots
7 of practical experience with it, and we have worked out all the

10 Having said that, if we're going with suggested dependencies for EAPI 5
11 (which I strongly suspect won't happen, since we seem to be wanting
12 EAPI 5 now rather than in several years time...) then there's a lot
13 more to getting it right than is mentioned in the original post, and it
14 needs to be written up properly.
