+Here's an idea for extending inline in two directions:
+
+1. Permit the content-fetching function to return undef to skip a page. The limiting of @list to a set size is performed after that filtering.
+2. Permit other directive plugins to pass a function to generate content via an inliner_ parameter. The current patch doesn't try to remove that key from the parameters, so hilarity might ensue if someone is too clever. I suppose I should fix that... My *intent* is that other, custom directives can add inliner_.
+
+The diff looks large because the first requires switching some loops.
+
+I'm using this along with a custom BibTeX formatter (one item per file) to generate larger pages and tiny listings. I still need to hammer the templates for that, but I think that's possible without further patches.
+
+(Setting up a git branch for a single plugin is a pain, but I can if necessary. I also could separate this into some sequence rather than all at once, but I won't have time for a week or two.)
