Can I add one small request for the next round?  I've looked through the
patches and the code a bit, and I still have absolutely no clue of what a
"persistent event" is or why I might want one.  Now, admittedly, I'm
slower than most, but it still might not hurt to add some overall
description of what this is for...?

Thanks,
