    @mrwhythat thanks for your contribution. I've taken a look at the code and it looks like a good start to #10929 but I have some doubts about the overall concept. My comments are here: #10929 (comment)

    From discussion in #10929, it's unclear whether this PR should be continued or not. Any suggestions?

    Hi @mrwhythat - sorry. I really didn't want to discourage you on your first PR. Your first commits look good, but my view of #10929 is that there are a lot of edge cases to think about before this will be in a useful state. I don't see huge benefit from the feature, but there may be others who do.

    For me there are much more interesting features to be worked on, but I certainly wouldn't concept NACK this if you feel strongly that it would be useful to lots of users. Feel free to contact me on irc or slack.

    Ok, then I'm closing this PR, but I'll leave the branch in case it's needed some time in the future.
