I believe that this was based on a patch by Wayne Scott, introduced in
this thread:

    http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/cons-discuss/2000-January/000796.html

Then, it looks like Steven Knight attempted to add this in 2.1.2.
I don't remember if he actually did:

    http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/cons-discuss/2000-August/001025.html

The discussion popped up again a few months later:

    http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/cons-discuss/2001-February/001331.html


Hopefully that gives you enough reading on the subject.  :^)
