------------------------------------
Hello [~jbug]
Please try a pull request to evaluate your solution. Don't forget a unit test
to avoid future regressions. In general, working with open source projects, you
want to consider sharing the maintenance load, just asking "what if" is just
asking other people to do work on your behalf ;)
