In the bleeding branch, while merging other core changes, I have
re-enabled some features that was commented out or otherwise lost in
Jumbo. If this is not one of those things (I don't remember the
details), I'll keep it in mind when merging your core changes. This
merge will incorporate tons of head-scratching anyway and I will
definitely need it to be audited by you and Jim afterwards.
