That would be great. There hasn't been a ton of review on this round,
but there was a good set of eyes on it during the RFC phase where nobody
seemed to complain loudly ;-).

So I'd be happy to see it get picked up, especially given its
simplicity. But if you want to wait for more reviewers to look it over,
that's fine too.

Thanks,
