There were several rounds, and I thought it was shaping up, but then
no more rounds came. I assume that Karl lost interest (or perhaps we
nitpicked him to death), but I thought at the end of the thread Junio
laid out a plan for the next revision. I guess nobody cared enough about
the feature to implement it after that (though I think I found the final
version acceptable with a minor documentation tweak, I think Junio laid
out a cleaner approach).
The last patch is here, with one of the replies from Junio giving the
aforementioned plan:
