After a couple meetings, I have approval to get this into an
application release currently in development.  Assuming that your
patch from the 13th is good for doing the testing, I think I can
post test results in about three weeks.  I'll also work on a
follow-on patch to add couple paragraphs and an example of the issue
to the docs by then.
