HI Anatol,

thanks for putting this patch together. However as we already reached
feature freeze and we are will have beta2 tomorrow I think it's a bit
too late for so much new code. I cannot really judge the sideeffects of
this upgrade and would prefer to be strict about the feature freeze. So
please do not update the library unless Stas decides that he wants to do
it in 5.4, in that case I have to go with his decision.
