Add another +1 from an admittedly only mildly participatory list member 
(mainly I just read unless I'm having a problem). I *can* stand as another 
example of a user with my own long and diverse list of scripts that function 
flawlessly in the beta an 1.0.6 and a branch sounds like a really good idea. 
It would weed out the cross-version hacks and, I'm sure, make it easier for 
you and the other developers as well to add more functions. I personally, 
want the monkey to have an (optional) cigar in his mouth that he lights to 
indicate successful injection. Maybe some smoke could come off to indicate a 
dump to the console and the cherry could glow brightly on GM_xmlhttpRequest. 


And could the monkey have a hat? Just asking.
