I have no doubt that is correct, but functionality is not an area where I'm
hurting right now, except possibly with regard to IMAP.  I checked the Perl
IMAP support, and what's present now is no better than what we have in
Python (well maybe *slightly* better).

It looks like people have been putting some effort into improving things
over there, though.
