Ok.

Ok! But it also drove you `to voice *your* from-the-sidelines
preference that this patch *not* be applied`...

Is it that much of a problem as to prevent a patch from being applied?

Again, if the patch is applied, people who wants this could use it.
Others who are not interested simply ignore it.

Ok. I see now.

But I am not interested to provide this to pass.
As said before, I believe this could be extended to use with other
password manager.
It has better chance to be improved in xmonad-contrib than in pass.

I also believe the use case is interesting enough to be integrated
(otherwise, I would not have proposed it).

Then again, as you said, neither of us are qualified to apply or dismiss the patch :D

In any case, thanks for clarifying Zev.
