FWIW, I have little interest in going there, because I'm afraid that
getting it to be bug-compatible with the existing behavior on points such
as quoting of -o arguments would be extremely fiddly. Perhaps it'd be
worth doing it in master, but I'd be afraid to back-patch such a change
--- and what I'm after right now is a back-patchable way of getting rid
of the 5-second-timeout behavior.
