Ok, I'm in the process of filing the issue as an enhancement, but I'm
not sure how to include the reference to this mailing list post: I read
this via Gmane, is it enough to reference the beginning post as
news://news.gmane.org:119/diojl5$16p$1@sea.gmane.org, or should I point
at it in another way. Also, should I reference the thread or just you
post above?
