I'm in favor of the ideas, but the patch isn't quite polished yet.  I've
been a bit short on time to clean the patch up myself, and was hoping
you would be willing to submit another version based on my comments from
the previous round.  But given the current goal of releasing 0.8.7 in
the very near future, I'm afraid this has missed the release deadline
and you will have to maintain it as a backport for another release cycle.
