The state of play here seems to be that Tomas is willing to have a go at
rewriting the patch per my suggestions, but Simon has not shown any
indications of responding in a timely fashion; and time is now of the
essence.
I am willing to take ownership of this item; but if I do, I will start
by reverting the aforementioned commits and their followups. I do not
think that very much of what's there now will survive without significant
changes, and to my taste it will be easier to review a rewritten patch
de novo. If Tomas is able to produce a rewritten patch within a week
(by 6/14), I will undertake to review it with an eye to committing by
the end of next week. If we are unable to produce something satisfactory
before beta2, the feature needs to be postponed into the next devel cycle.
