Thanks @katdom13!

Left one question regarding testing in interactive mode.

[engineervix]

Question: Is there a reason for uncommenting this?

[katdom13]

No, it's just me uncommenting it during testing and forgetting to comment again. Changed this in the newest commit.

[zerolab]

Thanks both. As this is purely a tidy up PR, will merge it in its own time
