Well, this is pretty late in the 1.4.0 game and honestly I am pretty reluctant to merge this in, push 1.4.0 out in 48 hours and leave for nearly a week.

So either we would reschedule 1.4.0 and shoot for June 24th, or do 1.4.0 this weekend as planned, and leave this as the first item (perhaps the second, after applying many small clean-ups I've privately received, which I haven't acted on other than quickly reviewing and asking the submitter to rebase and resend cc'ing the list) in the post-1.4.0 development cycle. This potentially is a candidate to backport to 1.4.X series.

My preference is to cook this in "next" for a while and merge it post 1.4.0.
