Since no one was using them yet, I've been holding off on writing these 
so I didn't have to update them as I changed the code. Now that you (and 
some guys on my team as well) are going to be using them, I need to suck 
it up and write them. I'll start on them today.

Yes on both.

Not sure I'll be done before you get in for your morning, but I'll keep 
you posted.
