No.  Have you?

Of course you have, which is why I and others are dependent upon you to
explain why this change is worth adding to Linux.  If this thing solves
a problem which we expect will not occur for anyone between now and the
heat death of the universe then this impacts our decisions.

I want to know how useful the darn thing is!  Why is this so hard?

And my thus-far-unanswered question regarding testing the feature
is also relevant to that understanding.  What does a testcase look
like?  If we're not actually able to construct one then what does that
mean?
