I suggested bounties for revised procedures or Modules. Bidding for a 
work is a completely different model; in my view inappropriate for the 
objective. In any case, I'm still busy with details in André's 
tutorials.

Thanks for the stats.  Wojciech mentioned 3 k lines.  According to 
your results all his revisions should be completed in a few hours.

Inevitably, revision and testing reveals further possible 
improvements.  Elusive bugs bite.  (The devil is in the details.)  
Meanwhile other things need attention.  A few days soon pass.  Time 
flies when having fun.
