This patch took a bit longer than most, and you're probably starting to get an idea of why :)

A lot of the previous patches have been kind of "boring" since they involved a lot of fixes and improvements to existing stuff. So we thought we'd take a bit of a side trip to add more fun stuff to play with.

We still have plenty of work left to do on features and fixes, but we hope you enjoy the care package!
