It looks like this was never produced, and it's been over a month. A
patch that hasn't been updated in over a month and doesn't have
complete consensus doesn't seem like something we should still be
thinking about committing in the second half of March, so I'm going to
mark this Returned with Feedback.
On the substance of the issue, I think there's no problem with having
a module like this, and I think it's fine if it only handles the
WHERE-less case in the first version. Somebody can add more later if
they want. But naming the module in a generic way so that it lends
itself to such additions seems like a pretty good plan.
