Yes, it exactly the same thing than views. Which is why I'm a bit 
baffled why views are a good thing and my transcoding isn't...

I didn't add to gopher+ because I admire the simplicity that is gopher0. 
I think that + was a bit rushed and kind of an ugly hack. I won't say 
mine is any better, though...
