I'm honestly still not sure what his purpose is.  There's some messages 
from a Philipp Kraus about 2 years ago on a Lua list asking almost the 
same question as he did here.

And there's a project on GitHub by a person of the same name, with 
almost the same idea, but there's no code yet (according to the 
documentation, I didn't dig through all the files) after again 2 years.

I think Phil needs to get his thoughts in order first, to be honest. 
He's just (barely) hacking at this, and it doesn't look like an easy 
problem.
