I do not recall having said "impress me" at any time during our
conversation so far.

Also this problem space is not the one I'm focusing on and I can't
tell you how to address the problem you want to address in that space
from the top of my head.  I can only look at what you post and decide
whether or not I agree with that.  It has to be well documented and
convincing enough, however, and it hasn't been so far in my view.  As
a rule, I'd rather not apply patches that I don't feel confident of.

Tony seems to agree with you, so maybe work with him on making your
case stronger.
