Yes. But it would take me something like a couple of weeks to do, I
think. And that's too long time for me just to do it for the fun of it
- I need to know that the goal is sensible and the changes would be
suitable for inclusion.
Also, I probably wouldn't want to look at it just yet - after the 1.0
would probably be more sensible.

happens in the backend. I don't feel like applying more duct tape -
I'd rather spend my time on a proper fix. So the answer would be
'no'. Sorry.
