Cool.

I think it would be a worthy addition.

Okay Felix, I've updated the package snapshot on my site at the usual 
location, please give it a go, and when you are satisfied it is doing all the 
things we discussed, let me know. I'll tag it and request for it to be 
uploaded. Otherwise, please tell me what problems are still there . . .

Also, any suggestion to the current README.modes describing this new mapping 
stuff would be great. I am pretty new to guessnet, and am still impartial 
to 'id_str' matching, so may not be able to give the best hints in this 
regard. No, rush, just whenever you find the time and motivation to do so.

Thanks, Kel.
