Do you have a draft patch for a user of this yet?


I had a particular patch in mind but I need to re-work it to work with the upstream tree. I wanted to at least send out the infrastructure to see how open people were to the idea. After reading the comments, I have a couple more ideas of users as well. I'll see if I can work that in for v2.

Thanks,
