Apart from the improvements above, I'm also posting this to see if anybody is interested in collaborating on this project. The project could benefit from some more people discussing and working on further development and would mean that it doesn't necessarily die if I suddenly don't have time to maintain it myself.
For people interested in collaborating, that want to have a private chat about this, can contact me here.
