Hi all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’ve read the proposal: the change is well-motivated, and seems to solve a problem that doesn’t have another pre-existing ergonomic or reliable solution.</div>
<div>Given this, I recommend that we accept. Alejandro and Simon have already given their support; does anyone else have any strong opinions either way?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Tom<br>

<div>Tom, I'm in support of this. It's simple, useful, driven by a real application need, and easy to implement. (There a small patch that does it already.)<br>
