Comment (by karsten):

 Sure, removing the keyword and discussing more internally works for me!

 I guess one of my assumptions above was that step 4 wouldn't produce more
 than 100 or 200 lines of Java code, where we wouldn't have to worry much
 about design and could easily transform the output into whatever design we
 want as part of step 5.

 Another assumption was that reading the report in steps 1 and 2 wouldn't
 be necessary, because there's plenty of sample data to test that the
 rewrite produces the same results as the original.

 But I made those assumptions without having looked at the code for years
 (pretty much since 2011).  And I believe that you're more into this topic
 right now than I am, because of your work on that other technical report.
 Would you want to give this a few more thoughts, in particular whether we
 can turn this into a mostly self-contained task for a new volunteer?  I
 agree that we should be pretty sure what we want before asking somebody
 else to do it. :)
