I somehow don't see the original message (in both my inbox and the web
archive), just your two pings. Can you see it?

Can you provide some explanations for the use case of these stubs, how
they work and how to give them an "hello world" try? I've never used
them, so I don't know anything about them. Having a quick run through
would help.

Thanks,

Simon
