The above is very selfish---what if somebody else wanted to add a feature to grok a non-mailbox input to the same codepath, and it is not a StGIT patch? That is what I called "bad taste". The same comment may apply to the rest of your response. "This hack is good enough for _my_ use case; I do not care if my change makes life harder for others to build on top of my patch" is not what I want to see.
