OK, fair enough, I hadn't noticed that though it was getting compiled it
wasn't getting linked in.

So, this feature was first referenced in RELEASE_NOTES-2.1, 5+ years
ago, there seems to be no motion to resolve whatever issues that keep
it from being official, yet there doesn't seem to be any motion to
remove it, either.

Seems to me like it should either be blessed (with notation of whatever
caveats) or removed.  At least for me, its present benefits outweigh
any downside for me, but at least I know that I will need to keep an eye
on it.

Mike.
