It would work if it was implemented. *wink*

Absolutely. I was considering entry splitting more of a "soon, maybe not
now" type of thing because it isn't entire clear to me what needs to be
done. It may not even be all that hard to implement, but I think it's more
than just a local change in the scope implementation because the current
lookup_here() doesn't know what node is asking.
