This is undeniably a patch which has been kicking around for a lot of
time without getting a lot of attention, and if it just keeps getting
punted down the road, it's never going to become committable.
Alexander's questions upthread about what decisions the committer who
took an interest (Heikki) would prefer never really got an answer, for
example.  I don't deny that there may be some work left to do here,
but I think blaming the author for a week's delay when this has been
ignored so often for so long is unfair.
