I agree with asking the questions, but I don't like the immediate
assumption that we're going to have to kick the patch because someone
asked a question or suggested an alternative design unless we actively
decide that's the approach we want to go and it requires a serious
rework of the patch.
Personally, I think it'd be terrible to implement the suggestion that
started this sub-thread since it breaks with what is currently done
elsewhere and what the users of this feature would expect.
Thanks,
Stephen
