I've merged and assigned DIP 1047. As of today, it's in Formal Assessment. I've asked Walter and Atila to render a verdict within the next two weeks, which is our goal under the new DIP process.
You can find the DIP here:

It went through one round of review in the Development forum:

When I hear the decision, I'll announce it in a separate thread.
Thanks to Quirin for taking the time to put the DIP together.
