Hi Tiziano,
Sorry, I didn't catch your email before (feel free to cc me on any
direct questions). This did not make it into 1.2, but it should make
it into 1.3. I am prepping a new patch series now to send out (which
is how I ran across your email, as I was double checking that I did
not miss any review comments - I must have missed it when you first
sent it).
Thanks,
Jeff
