And that was more than half a month ago.

The patch no longer applies to Emacs 28 -- there's been many changes to
find-func in the meantime.

Eli had a lot of comments on the patch, mostly stylistic, but also about
how this change would be somewhat non-backwards compatible.  So while I
think this sounds like a generally useful change, it seems pretty
invasive and extensive uncertain gain, so I'm closing this bug report.

If somebody wants to do further work here, please respond and we'll
reopen.
