Nice!  But it would even be nicer if this (and other new interfaces)
showed up in the testsuite.  Typically[1], untested interfaces are
broken or rot, and I assume you have tested all the newly documented
ones?  (If you haven't, then of course I can try to write some, too,
but also I'd be starting to be scared by your low error ratio.  ;-)

Cheers,
Ralf

[1] One could even go as far as saying that untested interfaces are
broken by definition.  Experience confirms that.
