Oops, I should have done a bit a searching before I tossed off a patch. 
Thanks Johannes for the pointer.

Aaron, how would you like to move forward on this?  I don't want to take 
credit from you since you were the first to post the patch.  If you 
would like to post a new version of your patch with the commit message 
updated based on the feedback, I can then add my tests to go with it. 
Alternatively if you'd like me to run with this I can repost the patch 
with you as the author along with an updated commit message and my name 
in a "Commit-message-by:" line.  Let me know your thoughts.  If I don't 
hear from you in a couple of days, I'll go ahead and repost the patch as 
I described.

Thanks,

Daniel Harding
