I guess what killed any chance for the patch to be included was that there
was a "competing" patch that I asked to be reversed. Also, just saying that
you are willing to provide docs and test didn't work either.

What's needed then as a 'sine qua non' is an updated patch against the tip
with documentation and tests.

If you don't beat me to it I may give it another try, but probably not
before next month.
