It should be close to committable. | | Doug, | | I'm trying this out on 12.x and 13.x just for funsies, but given the | release schedule, it's unlikely that there'll be a 12.4 or a 13.2 that | this would make it into. Regardless, I've opened a bug report to get | this added *somewhere* which may cause other people to try it out and test. I'd have to put in -current first then look at MFC later on. If looks good for you then I'll put it up for review. I just don't use this stuff day to day anymore. Thanks, Doug A.
