Completely not my intention, I did not ever intend to have something
marked experimental forever, and I'm not sure where you're drawing
that inference from.

No, I saw what I thought was a lack of a feature that is commonplace
on many other platforms, and thought I'd give it a shot to see if
I could add it myself. The NAKs are apparently overwhelming on this
issue, so I'll stop beating a dead horse and move on. Thanks for the
input.
