I do not want to see that used for patches meant for me to pick up from
mbox; the reason is explained in the message the cited one is in response
to.
It is an entirely different matter if such a "feature" should or should
not exist in the tool. I do not think I would use it myself, and as I
said, I do not want anybody to use it when sending patches to this list,
but that does not mean Git should not support it.
