This is why patches are nice. Already have the format!
But yah... if it is going to be a lot of work, then discussion is at
least warranted. That's the best way to get a feeling for whether the

In this case, I think the question "should I bother to work on this?"
was probably left hanging because the problem/solution was too vague
for people to definitively answer.
