eCAP is one way of doing byte- and/or count- quotas, but there are, of
course, other approaches as well.
I am still not very excited about the slow bloat of redirectors&Co API
towards duplication of *CAP functionality, but perhaps it is inevitable.
If it is, a clean unified interface among all such one-line external
helpers would make that duplication a lot less painful.
Cheers,
