Thanks!
I can relax since I know it is on your radar.
I have responded my self to a couple of fat fingers in the commit messages.
I am also in the process of testing the actual effects of the feature.

One thing I'm not sure I have adequately described (and didn't really
understand until I started testing) is that a positive value in the adjust
register increases the average value of a second, so it makes the clock
slower, while a negative adjustment makes it faster.

This was counterintuitive to me.
Not having deeply examined other rtc's with similar capabilities, I can't
say whether this is the norm.
