Ugh! I realized right after I hit "send" that I forgot to mark this as
V2 and give it version history. Sorry! :( Please consider this to be
v2. It's basically totally different than v1 based on today's IRC
discussion, which should be linked above.

If I need to send a new version I will send it as v3.
