OTOH, I deliberately hadn't documented ‘resume=’ so far.

OTOH, I have been hibernating multiple times a day for years now, 
only ever rebooting my laptop for kernel updates.

So the feature is probably safe, and we should probably consider 
it supported at this point.  Thanks for bringing it up!

I think documenting the current status quo in time for 1.4.0 is a 
good idea.

The next step is to automate things so ‘resume=’ becomes optional. 
This should have landed already, but hasn't for personal reasons. 
The code is basically ready, but won't be in the release.

Kind regards,
