On 03-Apr-2018, I wiped out the existing issues/PRs associated with this repo, they've built up due to some neglect. Now, there's a clean slate. New issues must follow the format provided and PRs will be reviewed and potentially accepted. Contributors are encouraged to review existing issues and submit changes.

Please do not clone this repo and publish it as your own. Fork the repo if you wish to publish any changes.
