It was contributed by the author about a week ago (May 4th). It is
considered "experimental" accoring the the README file. Due to time
(and other) contraints I haven't personally tested it.

Personally, I'd consider it functional unless I found a serious bug.
It is of course a Good Idea (tm) to sanity check output from any
computer program, Galaxy code included.
