This patch is currently flagged as waiting for author. Have you had a
chance to test and examine Jeff's changes in more detail? Would you
consider giving us a summary of the status of this work - do you think
you can have it production-ready within a week or two, with all
necessary tests and documentation.

... so it's clear that you need to read the patch in detail and make any
desired edits, re-test, and go from there.

I see a couple of changes to the regression tests. Do you need any
documentation changes for this too? Any user-visible effects other than
performance?
