It's time to wrap up this CommitFest, and this thread doesn't seem to
contain anything that looks like a committable patch.  So, I'm marking
this "Returned with Feedback".  I hope that the fact that there's been
no discussion for the last three weeks doesn't mean this effort is
dead; I would like very much to see it move forward.

Thanks,
