That sounds reasonable to me, and (at least at first glance) I don't

Would you mind filing an issue for this? In the issue, in addition to
describing the problem and the proposed enhancement, please link to
this mail thread.

No promises as to when it happens, of course, but patches always make
things happen faster... :-)
