Yeah, that would be ideal.

I guess both patterns can be followed if they discover either, and it made me wonder if this isn't a problem already solved by others, but at the end of the day, any solution that was good enough and unblocks us quickly was needed; the ones that were reviewed earlier have been fast tracked down to 'maint' as of last night. That does not mean we won't have to further improve it, of course. At least until 32-bit archs no longer matter, that is ;-).

Thanks.
