Adam, All,

Thanks for pointing out to that seemingly trivial patch; I now have
taken time to do a proper review of it; please see my reply (I did add
you in Cc).

As already mentioned by Thomas, this was discussed with J?r?my when we
were in Lyon, last October, and the conclusion we came to was that we
needed a generic way to provide this feature. There was even some
explanations posted to the list (unfortunately not as a reply to that
series), which outlined the evetual goal, but no one has ever sent a
patchset toward that goal so far.

I'll send a proper rejection notice now.

Thanks, I will have a look at it.

I can certainly understand the frustration, having been in that same
situation in the past, and still being in that situation with some of my
own patches...
