Thanks - I've reset the fix version field and reassigned to Vicente - he
can perhaps take a look and see what needs to be done to integrate this
(this is an area where we would at least need some good testing
coverage, perhaps by using the overload test framework that was put in
few years ago - see [1] for an example).
