    Whatever happened to "Do exactly as CML1 does; leave fixes and extensions
    for later"? If you put the kitchen sink into it, it _won't_ go into the
    standard kernel.

    It isn't "optional", it is builtin. It doesn't matter if somebody uses it
    or nobody does, it will be there. And AFAIU what you have said, you are
    modifiying CML2 (or at least the rulebase) for the sake of it. This is
    _not_ what had been agreed on the matter.
