I also need to rant here a bit.

Fortunately we haven't had this problem too many times on this
list, but sometimes people say "Here is my patch.  If this is
accepted I'll add documentation and tests".  I rarely reply to
such patches without sugarcoating my response, but my internal
reaction is, "Don't you, as the person who proposes that change,
believe in your patch deeply enough to be willing to perfect it,
in order to make it suitable for consumption by the general
public, whether it is included in my tree or not?  A change that
even you do not believe in yourself has very little chance of
benefitting the general public, so thanks but no thanks, I'll
pass."
I hope that my questions did not seem to fall into this catagory.
Not at all.
