Without a user interface for it, there is zero user base. And most
problems are detected only after a feature is released in a stable
release. And at that point it is too late to fix a fundamental design
problem.

Perhaps I should just review the patch before we continue. But in the
meantime someone should think about the user interface for this. Without
one, it is pointless to add this.
