That looks interesting, but I think the changes are too big for including
them at this point in time, so I'd like to postpone this to the 6.0 cycle
(so please respin the series after the 5.2 release).

Also this certainly needs to be documented in a file in the docs/ folder -
otherwise you'll be the only one who's using this feature, I guess...

 Thanks,
