That would be me.  What I said was that it looked like the thing to do
was to pick the best ideas the three implementations available, and
that I, at least, would be doing that for my local needs.  I still
plan to do that, but having recently become a father for the first
time, and having lots of projects going at work, I haven't found time
yet.  Unless someone beats me to it, I will be doing this soon, and
probably within the next couple of weeks, but obviously not in time
for the 6.4 beta period.  Besides, I have no idea how to integrate a
new type as a built-in type, so someone else would have to do that.
