Thank you very much John

I hadn't heard anything about it either, so I got very excited, this is one
more of those things that you keep (re)writing, that would be really useful
in a standard library.

Will take a look at the proposal mentioned, but if nothing has been
discussed recently, then the reflector might not make a lot of sense to
look at.

Paul
