I'm not at all sure on whether this should be incorporated into 2.2.
I approve it (or something like it) for 2.3; for 2.2, I'm hesitant but
if Jack thinks it's needed for MacOS, and it's off by default, and a
thorough code review shows no problems with it as long as it's off, I
would be OK with it.  In other words, you're the release manager; it's
your call.
