Just a little update (to be honest I forgot that a little bit):
I will delay the implementation for about two weeks. Reason is that we
are going to release a new version and will announce a string freeze. I
don't want to add this feature in a hurry and add a couple of new
potential bugs shortly before we are releasing.
