Yup, it's in my branch for post-1.0 stuff. I didn't want to mess about
with thread related stuff until it's had a bit more testing.

It's very advanced C code. You wouldn't understand... it's not a typo...
honest. :p

(will remove it from my tree! - thanks for noticing).

Well would you do that all the time and pass in a non-const char* or
would you require the caller to free? If so then it's a little more work
for the caller to implement and thus it may not get done consistently.
At least if it's in the API it's quite consistent. I do agree tho', this
doing it client side would be more flexible overall, so I'm not against it.

I won't touch this patch until after 1.0, so feel free to make it super
awesome in the mean time :D
