now that we've got several patches on the list for this, perhaps
someone could open a ticket requesting the feature, with the right
patches attached.  i'm sure it will make the someone's job easier. 
target the ticket for 13.2.0.  (and don't wait too long.  that train's
about to leave the station!  :-)
