He did agree, but AFAIK, no one has ever actually done the work, and I
suspect that unless Walter gets frustrated over the problem himself, he
won't get around to fixing it himself, but I don't know. I also have no idea
how easy or hard the implementation would be. It really should be fixed at
some point though, since it's clearly causing problems and consistently
forcing us to have workarounds in the standard library.
