I agree about the importance of getting this in, but would like to
push 2.2 out first.  Two reasons: 1, I think your patch will need some
real-world testing in checkpoint releases for a while before we get it
all right on all platforms, and I'd like to not hold 2.2 for that.
And 2, the work needed to integrate it is more than I can do in a few
hours: it needs tests and doc (I think both user guide and man page)
at least.

Have you created a Tigris ticket for it, with your patch?
