Now that would rock. For my personal use, this would almost entirely solve the
problem. I could whip up a single file that contains all the parts I want to
fix, run it through L3P, manually fix the parts in the resulting file, and then
include that file. Perhaps such an include could be the deliverable if people
want to collaborate.
