That's a very nice start, thank you. (Will also look more closely at
checklist.)  It needs an `na.omit()` or alike, and even with that `rbind`
barked a few entries in (i = 19 if you select the full vector right now).

But definitely something to play with and possibly build upon. Thanks!  (And
the IDs of Floris and you were two of the ones I 'manually' added to a
DESCRIPTION file ;-)

Best,  Dirk
