Stop with the drama, please. You are not a persecuted misunderstood
genius. Nobody here has a personal grudge against you. The reason
people, including me, are objecting to your patches is that they are not
fundamental enough. You want to redo the subtitle API in a major way,
but keep it saddled with legacy hacks right from the start. We have
enough of those already to know we don't want any more.
