Yes; sorry for not realizing that before.

I think your enhancement is basically different from what issue #1935
discusses, though if your enhancement were implemented, it would
reduce the urgency of #1935 by a lot.  You might want to make a note
of this thread in #1935, therefore.

If you want to file an enhancement issue, pointing to this thread,
that would be great, but without a patch I fear it might linger for a
long time.  Tell you what: if you have time to come up with a patch,
and send it to the dev@ list, I'll at least do a full review.  I can't
promise to commit it the first time obviously, but it shouldn't be a
huge patch, and once we get it ship-shape (however many turnarounds
that takes) I see no reason it can't be committed.  I've CC'd the dev@
list in case anyone has objections.
