The patch currently fails on cfbot due to warnings, likely related due to the
win32 issue: https://cirrus-ci.com/task/4566046517493760?logs=mingw_cross_warning#L388
As it's a new patch submitted to the last CF, hasn't gotten any review yet and
misses some platform support, it seems like there's no chance it can make it
into 15?
