Does anyone know anything about the book of Sussana?

@msh210 @IsaacMoses and I agreed, and on that basis I reopened. @mevaqesh has now left some comments challenging this. Chat is a better place than comments for that conversation. (But I am at work and in the middle of something right now, so I'm dropping this comment here but can't do much else right now.)
