Not yet, but it's still an exciting possibility.  Connecting with 
Crabgrass or something like it could be a great way to offer these 
features without our having to build them ourselves.

Several months ago I talked with both Dan and Elijah from their 
team.  They both sounded excited about the Alternatives project and 
ways we could integrate.  They were planning some big improvements 
and we needed to figure out what the heck we were doing code-wise so 
discussions didn't go much further.  Maybe now that we've chosen a 
path we could reconnect.
