I'm sorry if it came across that way.  I understand and appreciate the
work that's being done.

I'm dealing with my own deadlines, and my estimates had assumed that
this functionality already existed.  That it doesn't yet isn't your
fault, and you've done nothing that justifies your being the target of
my frustration.

I'd have said that one of our own fundamental principles, around here,
is to never check in code that won't compile.  Except that's only true
of our trunk and branches.  We've never enforced that rule on our
developers' private sandboxes.

I did a quick hack to get things working, though I'm not sure I've
propogated the error checking it looks like you were half-way through
putting in place.  (I.e, responding appropriately to an unknown type.)

But with that hack, I'm successfully writing GML text.  What I'm going
to be doing over the next week or so should exercise at least part of
this code.

What more needs to be done, to get this ready?
