It seems quite interesting. I still only read the patch (and it seems a
good one), but I didn't test it actually. I'll do in the next few days.
Anyway, we're still in beta for 1.12. If the patch is good enough, we'll
have to wait the creation of the 1.12 branch before applying it.

Commited. I also created the ticket 208 for it.
