If you want these metrics, it makes sense to drop them a note. But no
way are they going to create new metrics for you before next Thursday,
so we had better come up with something else. I can create a bunch of
metrics for you, but I do not have time to create hundreds of these
by hand, so tell me: are you using 'modern-base, texnansi' in your
actual project as well?
