But be aware that it's at the challenging end of the spectrum for a microproject, if not already too much. Microprojects focus on the patch and review workflow, while the solution itself is usually fairly simple. A new language in userdiff.c isn't necessarily of that kind. Among other things, we expect that the code change is accompanied by test cases. -- Hannes
