Yes, and I have a working prototype for that. I'm just way to busy
with lots of bugfixing at the moment but I plan to get to it in this
merge window. I also agree that we can't mark a feature as fully

And I'm not going to get start on the PMEM_IMMUTABLE bullshit, please
don't even go there folks, it's a dead end.
