Hi guys,

If the feature already exists I will definitely try it next week !
I am very curious, I think it can work for me. Need to try to be sure.

But, I can't find the relevant package, I don't see it in David T. Lewis 
GitHub.
 From Gerald link I assume it should be called Worlds, is it ?

Bye
Nicola
