Thank you very much for your encouragement, demerphq.

I'll think about it. And if I should actually decide to go for writing a patch, I'll of course try to submit it -- though I'm not too optimistic about getting it accepted...

I mean, realistically, why would any of you busy gurus want to spend time investigating a patch from a lil' girl without any credits in the perl community? In particular, as similar code has just recently been thrown out... and things overall don't exactly look like the whole world's been desperately waiting for this patch ;)

Also, although I'm not entirely new to C coding, I've never seriously attempted hacking Perl's internals (closest I ever got was writing a few XS modules), and I have due respect for all the concepts and conventions that have evolved over time. At least it'll take me a while to catch up... Anyway, I'll still look into it.

Well, I guess I should start lurking on p5p, to get a better feel for how things are being handled over there...
