I do not recall having said "impress me" at any time during our conversation so far. Also this problem space is not the one I'm focusing on and I can't tell you how to address the problem you want to address in that space from the top of my head. I can only look at what you post and decide whether or not I agree with that. It has to be well documented and convincing enough, however, and it hasn't been so far in my view. As a rule, I'd rather not apply patches that I don't feel confident of. Tony seems to agree with you, so maybe work with him on making your case stronger.
