I did, yes. But no docs with it. It would be good to see the proposal,
not just the patch (or a reference to the written proposal from
earlier).

OK, I didn't pick up on that. So now I like it, apart from one thing: I
would prefer to have explicit control over that (via the directive I
mentioned or otherwise), rather than just doing that implicitly. Doing
things implicitly will make it even harder for most people to trace
which parameters will get picked up and stupid mistakes will be made on
production servers.
