I'm saying I'm not happy about promoting that to the status of a
supported feature.  Up to now it's always been "if it breaks you
get to keep both pieces", but if there's a built-in function to do it
then people will naturally expect a certain level of reliability.

Maybe it works fine, maybe it doesn't.  But I foresee having to expend
work down the road because of this addition.
