We considered that, but it is unreliable (how about hard coded cursor
for exemple), need in-depth testing/validating, and as a consequence eat
lot of time. On the other side, you have a 20 lines patch that is easy
to apply/validate. I can live with this small patch out of tree, but
there is a real need here.
