19 That's why it is a request for comments. I know it are patches to rather
20 central parts, and (except for the newpg patch) they are only useful when
21 used together. I basically made the patches myself because I felt there is a
22 need for this kind of feature, and there had not been real reactions on my
23 suggestions. I thought the best way to convince people of the use is to show
24 what I mean and what it does. But these patches do impose an architectural
25 change, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if people prefer other ways of
26 reaching the same goal.
