I would very much prefer the work on Issue 2240 (aka 2070) to make it
into 2.16.  It is a significant API change that should not occur during
a stable release series, and it paves the way for making the music
function work continue smoothly enough that backporting further
enhancements into a stable 2.16 series would be feasible.

For similar reasons, it needs to be in a release candidate before
release.
