Yeah, and that series looks good. Unfortunately, it is too intrusive to still apply for 3.9.

John L., could we get in a scheme where we apply John C.'s patch for 3.9 and then use Gabor's series for 3.10?
Don't know how that works with making sure that this patch is reverted for 3.10.

Can you coordinate, or should I help you with this?
