Anyone who is interested in this feature, please discuss on
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83449>.

In particular, if anyone strongly objects to this feature, now is the
time to say so on the bug report. AIUI Thiago initially had some
concerns but is now happy that they have been dealt with.

I've brought up a couple of text/API issues on the bug, which do not
alter the fundamental design.
