Tanu is starting to do some advertising :), this is good!

I think there is no point in keeping stuff separate forever; if it doesn't 
terribly interfere with the current code, routing should be merged soon

there is no other way to understand (and probably fix) whatever Tanu is 
doing; routing doesn't have to be 'perfect'

I'd ask for code under test/ and a list of meaningful/useful examples 
(such as stated above) and can be checked and regression tested
