Oh, well done Peter. Thank you. About 15 lines of code, and the same
again for comments. And all for the good of the community (and
scratching your own itch).

I think we've now got pretty much the right basic ideas for solving
your original problem. And your original problem is fairly widespread.

So what, do you think, are the next steps?
