OK. Thanks. I will take this to -ports, and get their opinions. Once we have a working solution, should this go to -hackers to see if someone will add it to -current, or should it just be submitted as a PR as you suggest? >> I certainly think it's a good idea, but i'll need the support of at >> least somebody else, otherwise it's just a one-man crusade.
