I do not believe that the patch is mature for committing to the trunk code. See above. Luca, do you share my view?
If I see it right, then Luca should work on his patch some more. Perhaps others could help with that work if he would want that. In such a situation it may be a good strategy to commit the patch to a branch of the HEAD of the trunk, so that it can be developed without problems with other work.
Simon, yes! That's what branching is there for. People seem to be afraid of it, but it is an enormously useful tool for just such situations. I think it's always a good idea to tag the tree immediately before a branch.
