Thanks, Alan. I appreciate that and it's understood.

The reason why I wanted to post a reference to the CSR to this list was
to get broader awareness of this and perhaps get the one or the other
additional feedback that hasn't popped up yet. I believe this could
happen in parallel and the CSR explains how such a feature could
(potentially) work without looking at the code at all.

Thanks,
Severin
