Not (yet), but those are the one I mentioned (besides HDBC) under d) ;)

Thank you very much. I went through the docs for which you provided some
references - I cannot claim I understood everything, but it sounds/looks
quite interesting and worth exploring.

Is there any simple tutorial about using Takusen available somewhere?

Great news!
