This led, of course, to a very, very long thread that I've just skimmed.
But I think the rough consensus here was that there wasn't much
enthusiasm for this, which explains why hasn't been worked on in five
years, as far as I can see.

So it seems unlikely to me that there'll be any further progress in this
bug report, and I'm closing it.
