Back when Matt first posted his sample device driver I got all excited and
ambitious and posted a message saying I was going to do a DEV: device that
would root all those names into a tree. Never happened. Then someone else
got the bug, but he never did it either. If I was only independently wealthy,
and could do this stuff full-time.

The idea's still out there.
