Nikita, any word on getting this change done?

I suppose we should call ourselves satisfied if we get 0001 done during
this cycle (or at least this commitfest). Further refinement can be had
in the future, as needed -- even within pg13, if Nikita or anybody else
wants to tackle Tom's suggested approaches (or something completely new,
or just contest Tom's points) quickly enough. But I don't think we need
that in order to call this CF entry committed.
