Somewhat hypocritically as I cannot volunteer myself just now… just
because Walter didn't get round to it, doesn't mean it can't be done.
People who want the feature should find a way of creating the resource
to make it happen. Four ways: volunteer to do the work themselves; club
together to raise the cash to contract someone to do the work; get an
organization to stump up a person to do the work; get an organization or
seven to stump up cash to contract someone to do the work. There is
nothing quite like providing a pull request to get things moving ;-)
