Thanks, Pierre-Yves.  I've applied the patch and committed it now.  As it's a 
new feature, not a bug fix, it went to the master branch, so it'll be in the 
next major release of Emacs.

I modified the log message a bit.  I changed it to match the style recommended 
in CONTRIBUTING (that is, to put a summary line at the top before giving a 
ChangeLog-style entry below that), and I added a line at the bottom noting that 
I had applied the patch, because otherwise there would be no way to trace the 
full audit trail.

By the way, I realize that when you wrote the log message you were probably 
just following the examples you saw from looking at existing log messages.  
Some developers are still using an older log message format, but the 
CONTRIBUTING file is clear about the modern format, so I though this change 
should provide an up-to-date example for whoever the next contributor is :-).

Here's the commit:
