Sorry, but we never postpone a change submitted by someone just because
someone says "sometime in the future we will be making much the same
change".  That's a sure way to kill productivity and stop developers
from helping you out.

If you really wanted to make this type of change, you would have done so
already, so obviously it's not a high priority.  I'll take Nayeemahmed's
patch.
