Me too, but just because it works well, doesn't mean it's committable. 
If I recall, the original one was claimed as a hack, and the patches 
were made against it.  I'm just saying what I recall, not that it is 
actually what will happen.  It all goes to the people who have the 
commit bits, and core I'm sure.

Me personally, I'd love for it to be part of the base, as long as it 
makes sense.  It seems to be working ok for me too.
