Thanks for investigating and preparing a patch!

I agree that this patch is quite invasive.

Since there is a issue (https://github.com/LemonBoy/bar/issues/188) from
Aug 5, 2016 with no progress I do not think that this has good chances.
But who knows ...

I think that is the way to go. The few commits in LemonBoy/bar in the
last two years are mainly of cosmetic nature (see GitHub history), so
the forked repo has the original and new functionality.
@Joel: would you like to prepare a diff for switching? You could also
take maintainer at this occasion if you are willing to take care of this
port.
Best regards,
Ingo
