Yes, I am aware, and agree with the reasoning. This was still a useful
exercise I think, both for my own part, and to get feedback on the scope
and approach of the patches.

I appreciate that. Hopefully I can make it so that it doesn't create too
much noise for the rest of the project. Also I will look into the
solution you mentioned for integrating with Github Actions. In my
experience code that isn't tested regularly breaks easily.

Thanks!
