    Awesome! Is there any way that this could be committed, as well
incorporate the other two PRs (conf/146828, misc/149510) before
9.0-RELEASE? They all seem to overlap a bit and are helpful for
developers and contributors.
    I'll write up a 1 unified patch for the minimal changes
(conf/146828, 	conf/161835) and revamp the other change if someone
will commit the work.
Thanks,
