+1 to this idea. This code in James Taylor's repo might help:

Thanks Ben. Yeah, it is on the to do list. We just need to spend some time learning about the format and thinking about good use cases. James's code is a great place to start, as is Jim Kent's lib. If you have any particular use cases you care about, please let us know.
