    	It's off-topic, but the classical response is
    	to recognize this as someone specifying whet they
    	want in terms of **how they'd do it**.
    	
    	So you weasel yourself into the specification loop,
    	find out what is needed and deliver it, preferably
    	with an interface that hides the how from the what.
