There is still an open CommitFest entry for this patch, which is
marked "Ready for Committer", but it looks to me like there's no
consensus position here. Different people have different preferences,
and every option that is somebody's first preference seems to be
somebody else's last preference. So I suggest that we give this one
up for a lost cause and mark it Rejected.
