I think this quite small feature, which already received quite amount
of review. The last version is very pinched. But I think it would be
good to commit some very basic version, which is at least some
progress in the area and could be extended in future. I'm going to
pass trough the code tomorrow and commit this unless I found major
issues or somebody objects.
