Does any of this make sense?

Yes, it does. Doesn't the withdrawer in Ultima move as a queen, so wouldn't need to detect the board edge? Detecting the edge is still very useful. The suggested uses of E and cc make sense to me.

I don't quite understand how dau and cau work now. I tried (dauf)Q, thinking that would describe a queen that could pass through friendly pieces, but if it captures after unloading the captured piece ends up at the starting square of the whole move. Is that intended?
