Interesting, much more comprehensive than I expected, but can you
explain me why the client doesn't got such a thorough capability of
reading the inventory? (the total item count for my inv varies from
about 9k to 30k+ depending on my luck, regardless of how many items I
add or delete) Or does the check randomly misses things in the inventory
like the client do?
