Well, I'm not in a hurry, but it does take contributor time even if
Rémi didn't seem to be interested in adding hacks or changing the
input item handling. If the discussion goes on and you don't find
a consensus approach for a new feature in this module, when do we
merge, and more importantly when do we tackle the real issues with
the module integration and what we do with it?
