so, went ahead and submitted a PR anyway since I was in the middle of the work. Feel free to ignore & do yrselves if you were already working on it! Did not change README much as it was already petty good by our standards...

Was not working on it, just self assigned as something I could tackle later today. So, great! Thanks for submitting the PR. I'll review it this afternoon / evening.
