Pushed to master changes confirmed by João.
I guess I can't complain much, since I've been largely absent due to
absolute lack of time, and very late on the review of these patches.
I also think we're conflating lots of different stuff on this issue, which
makes it difficult for me to follow.
Anyway, your initiative got my attention. Do you remember what I
wrote previously?

I still think this is the best option, so if you didn't already push that,
I would be thankful that you do. It should solve your issue and make
the code and manual simpler.
And maybe consider opening different bugs for the other issues?
Thanks,
