Does somebody want to help tying the final loose ends on this topic?
It has been listed in the [Stalled] section for too long, I _think_
what it attempts to do is a worthy thing, and it is shame to see the
initial implementation and review cycles we have spent so far go to
waste.

If I find nothing else to do before any taker appears, I could
volunteer myself, but thought I should ask first.

Thanks.
