It's my fault it's not in yet, Sean told me he would add it late january, but I was on vacation  the first week of Feb, and the last week has been very busy for me.

However, I think it's better to add what I have now and worry about fixing shared stuff later (I'm pretty sure shared is not done exactly correct right now).  I haven't had time to read the latest installment of tdpl, but I'm confident that we can solve the problems of shared array appending later.  Fixing the stomping problem is important to get out there for people to play with.
