So I've put an alternative proposal here:

Discussion is welcome (but only on the libraries@ list, please). Hopefully we can weigh the benefits of each proposal, and reach an agreement and write up a more formal specification within the next few months or so provided that people decide that this is an extension we want to implement.

There is not much of content I can say that isn't already covered on the wiki page or in the email you sent when you first proposed this, so let me just say that I am completely convinced that this proposal is The Right Thing. Cheers, Ben
