Hello Tim D=C3=BCsterhus,

This argument has convinced me. And writing it down helps clear my mind.

I have prepared a RFC at
https://gist.github.com/MircoBabin/aaa574297c8d1baa879f19c99ce28e93

Are you still willing to carry out the implementation? If so:
- Should I mention you as coauthor?
- In the first chapter, what wording should "Implementation" be?
- What wording should "Patches and Tests" be?

Kind regards,
