I have only very raw prototype, so I am sure, so this feature will not
be in 8.4, and I am not sure about 8.5. It's nice feature, but I am
not force to complete and clean code, and I am not able create patch.
If you would do it, I am, with pleasure, send you source code, that
allows multirecord sets.
