Quick thanks

This is not an issue, just a quick thank you as this package is exactly what I was looking for. I have been using my own trait for quite some time and thought I should make a package out of it instead of copying it over from project to project again and again.

Thought I'd make a quick search for something similar before putting my own out there and ended up finding yours, which does exactly the same thing, even a bit better.

I don't understand why similar projects using inheritance instead of a trait seem to have more success - this is clearly not an inheritance situation, a trait is definitely the way to go in my opinion.

Just thought you'd like to know your work hasn't gone unnoticed!

Cheers
