This features sounds interesting and usefull but without any
documentation, it might be forgotten by many of us.
Could you provide a patch for integrating some doc :
- What issue that patch is solving ?
- When do we use it ?
- How do we use it ?
Would be lovely in order not to let that patch get out of our memories :p
Cheers,
Erwan
