@btford I don't know if this is used/address already, but accurate is misspelled on line one of the object above.

@wooorm thanks for addressing this. Was this ever added in any way to the codebase though? If so it will need to be fixed somewhere in there.
wooorm commented
No, it wasn’t, so the work is still to write a PR 😉
