What ever happened to this effort?

Patch 12 and 13 look to accomplish something similar, yet they do what
Eduardo suggested. I was testing that series at my previous job, but
unfortunately (for the fate of this series) I left that employer before
I could finish reviewing and testing it. Perhaps Caesar can resurrect
and test it?
