I'm guessing the vote is core-only, but +1 from me in any case. I fully agree that this patch has had a serious measure of effort put behind it from the author and is absolutely a capability we desire and need to have in core. I'd be happy to jump in and help tonight or tomorrow, but I don't think there's much I could really contribute right now beyond my support. Still, please ping me if there's something I can do. Thanks! Stephen
