This seems to be a worthwhile patch, but it was submitted to the 2018-03 CF at the last moment with no prior discussion or review as far as I can tell. It appears to be non-trivial and therefore not a good fit for the last CF for PG11. I have moved it to the 2018-09 CF. Regards, -- -David da...@pgmasters.net
