There are still plans for this. Unfortunately I became ultra-busy
during the last year at my day job and wasn't able to achieve the
suckless goals I hoped for. The drawing abstraction is a higher
priority though.

I can't promise anything of use for the next fortnight, but I think
expecting something within this summer is realistic.

Kind regards,
