True, but I'm encouraging Ralph to look at that further possibility as
well; we don't know for sure how much more complex it might be until
someone actually codes it (it might be as simple as adding an integer
variable and 2 additions).

Agreed, I'm just suggesting that development be done on the 3.15 branch
as it's easier to merge a feature branch into a later release branch
than it is into an earlier one.
