This is a great idea, and I think it would be good for us to be involved. I know that Stolee wanted some help writing documentation about partial clones [1].

Hopefully we will all see progress in this direction soon. If that doesn't pan out, then we can bring this up as a potential area. Thanks, -Stolee ```
