Hi Kieran,
You are correct, I wasn't thinking straight. I've indeed introduced a bug
within a bug :)
You are more than welcome to modify the patch and send it off for integration.
As for my implementation of the internal routing, I can certainly send it to
you later once the implementation matures a bit.
Best regards,
Simon
