    Yeah, but see what I had said above.

    However, if the consensus is that we should have such a line, see
    attached patch for GLEP 42.

    Coming back to this old thread. There were no more replies, but I don't
    feel like merging this patch after such a long time, unless there would
    be more support for it.

    So, any further opinions?

    No answer, therefore I am going to drop that patch.
