pretty straightforward thing to do, and I would be happy to go through the
code and submit a patch. The only question is whether we want to do it in
the first place; are there any reasons it can't/shouldn't be done that I'm
not aware of?

Seems reasonable to me, but would need to see a patch to give a definite
yes or no.

Cheers,
Nick.
