At this point I don't know that any of this is going anywhere. I have
presented what I think is a reasonable compromise to accept the feature.
A compile-time option which was as designed all along with a flag called
experimental. Which will be vastly easier to get people to test over
time versus having to run a fork.
I am for including this patch. I believe it is worth the risk.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
