I can sponsor it.  I haven't got the cycle to review this change but 
Martin and Iris reviewed it and this changeset is good to go.

It was since ported to the current repository tip, a couple of bugs were found and fixed, some refactoring and code and comment cleanup were done, and JML annotations added.
