The v5 patches also do not implement this new idea, and
still suffer from the corner cases that Paul Turner

Not yet. We got a baby this spring, so I've been busy
with things like milk and diapers, instead of with
code.

I wanted to get this proposal out before Plumbers, so
we could at least talk about it, and maybe find flaws
with this idea before I spend weeks/months implementing it :)

Agreed. I hope to get some time to work on that, but
no guarantees about getting it ready before Plumbers :)
