I won't bet my hand on that.

In principle I'd be happy to look at it, but I doubt that I will have enough time to get it done within this CF unfortunately. Thus I'd rather not commit to doing it.. It kind of fell off my radar too long ago, as I was originally planning to look at it back in the autumn, but failed. 

So basically, if somebody else has the cycles to do it in time for 9.6, please do.


I have marked the patch as returned with feedback.


Yeah, unfortunately I think that's probably right. Let's focus on things that have a better chance of making it.
