Alexey,
are you still working on this patch?
Since your last submission there has been some feedback and I think
we've reached consensus. I am sorry that our discussion flip-flopped
a little and mislead you.
I would very much like to see a version of your patch which
incorporates the feedback you've received since your last submission.
If you don't have time or interested to work on this patch anymore
I'd like to pick it up and finish it. Else I will wait for an updated
patch from you.
Thanks!
