And we're back full circle. This is basically where Josh Kuperschmidt
started in early 2010:

Then Torello's patch initially more ambitious patch got pruned down to
the same sort of feature set.
Next, the day after the November CommitFest started (so it got kind of
lost), Edward Muller took a shot at coding exactly this too, which he
tells me happened without even knowing the other two were already
floating around:

The picture of what people really want here is pretty clear now, after
different people wanted same-user cancels (or more) badly enough to
submit a patch adding it, in three cases now.
