@dbessono, I created a clone of current master and melded a new approach of doing this into it, it can be seen in this PR into my fork (did not want to create hundreds of PRs here) please take a look if this would be acceptable.. I had to touch the core classes a little bit to separate some mechanics that would otherwise force me to copypaste really huge methods.. https://github.com/andrlos/jtharness/pull/1 Thanks for taking a look :-)
