This RFC is intended as a courtesy, because the previous one was **accepted**, but quite a few concerns were raised afterward and Zeev has suggested that the question should be reevaluated in a new RFC. This is it. I did not want to just merge the original (accepted!) implementation after the controversial discussion it triggered, but after reading this, I realize that I just wasted my time here. So much for being nice and giving people a fair change to reevaluate the proposal in light of the new arguments that have been brought forward. I guess that next time I'll just go ahead and merge things. Regards, Nikita
