Hi Jack, I don't object to your changes, but I'd like to see a response from Jens first. My preference would be to get the original patch in, then other changes that build on it, such as this one, can be added. Until the core changes lands, any other work is pointless. Of course if Jens wants a this merged before he'll apply it, I'll happily do that.
