Thanks Arto, Ivan.

The question about Merlin is a good one. I better start using Merlin
myself, because I don’t know the answer. I suppose if Merlin reads
things from src/ (or lib/, or whatever) in a project, then it shouldn’t
work. But if Merlin reads from _build/, as I would think it does, then
it “should" work. But I don’t know either way at the moment. It will
probably take some time for me to set Merlin up, but I will look into
it.

Best,
Anton
