I understand that. Just wondering what "advanced" features will be 
missing during my exploring, and how critical it will be for my purposes 
(I realize you can't answer the second). I understate that if required, 
I'll create my own functions.

Do you think anyone would be interested in such a fall back? I can do it 
within my own framework, or make something more standalone, but don't 
see the need for the later if no one else would be interested.
