I don't think that'll ever be 1.14 material, I've no way to know what
regressions it'll cause at this point,

Validating changes like that that seem simple is really messy to get
done, so I tend to bail on the side of assuming they'll break
everything.

Is that patch posted to the list for master? I'm not really in a
position to work on the server at the moment.

Dave.
