I love it, too. As for me, the reason for hesitating review this
is the patch is said to be experimental. That means 'the details
don't matter, let's discuss it's design/outline.'. So I wanted to
see what the past reviewers comment on the revised shape before I
would stir up the discussion by maybe-pointless comment. (Then
forgotten..)

I'll re-look on this.

regards.
