In which case, I guess it would be a good idea to copy that implementation to Worg, or rather copy it to a github repo and link to that from Worg. Or would it be better going into /contrib? Or its own ELPA package? Can't remember whose implementation it was ATM. I'll go back, find it, and ask them off-list. (Sorry for top-posting. I'm stuck with GMail for the moment).
