No no, the first proposal, I agree, the solution to the original problem was well-accepted, which actually motivated me to look deeper. The patches I've sent, I do NOT want them committed, they are not ripe yet.

I'm not complaining, really. I'm simply confused because I write extremely rarely to p5p, and I don't know what to expect from there. And honestly, I don't know if there are people like me who still want something new from perl5. If yes, I'll be glad knowing that what I'm planning to do is needed. Don't look for hidden messages in my mail, or you'll find them :)
