Agreed. This should be optional and I have deliberately not introduced it
into all the bindings that could in theory support being used as providers.
So far I've not pushed it out in a blanket fashion into existing bindings
even as optional.

This particular case is squashing an error, so whilst I'm happy to have those
gain the binding addition, I would like to see them in a separate patch as
less likely they'd get back ported.
If Kryysztof is fine with me just dropping the required I can pick up this patch.
