Given the size of the change is possibly much larger than I expected. And
given that I'm new to the core and its probably not within my wheelhouse to
create such a large change, I'm probably not the right person to do the
work. As such  I think this thread will just die, unless someone wants to
volunteer for the work - in which case I would be glad to offer an help I
can and write up and manage the RFC.

Thanks for all your thoughtful responses!
