Peter might think differently about that ;-).  My problem with it is
that we don't seem to have a polished API for how code uses the feature.
I wouldn't mind so much except that once we release we are going to be
stuck with the API indefinitely --- the usage will propagate into
third-party code very quickly and we won't want to break that code by
changing it.

Personally I'd prefer to fix it rather than revert it.

No objection here.  I mainly wanted to make sure the issue doesn't get
forgotten.

Yeah.  That was put on the list a month ago, when there was still plenty
of time to do something about it; but since we missed getting it into
beta2 I think it will have to wait.

OK, particularly if no one is in a position to test it right away.
