I was going to try it out yesterday but I held off because I didn't want 
to patch and re-install the core trac system.  It would probably work, 
but I can't really risk breaking the site.

Is there any way that this code could be implemented as a plugin instead 
of a modification to the core code?  In my opinion this would make it 
much easier for people to test and refine without the risk of breaking 
their current site.
