JFYI, I remember the beginning of this story from January 2015 well. Paul Evans suggested the original idea and he was 
going to implement it in code. I did not understand why he specified SLL2 so clearly but didn't implement it, so about 
a year ago I made an attempt to get some running code along those lines, and I was _not_ successful at that. SLL2 may 
be one of those problems that are easy to state but difficult to solve, so I would suggest to focus on a working 
prototype first, then the required props around it can be added as necessary. So far it is a well documented solution 
that does not exist.
