Thanks for understanding my question, Devon.  I guess at this point I'll
patch a system here and begin testing with it, and hopefully PJD or PHK
or somebody else @freebsd will respond with any plans to roll this
functionality into the base system.  It's really not a problem if there
is no plans to do it, I just don't want to spend a lot of time fiddling
with a patch and then find it in the base system in 5.4 or something.
