Right.  So I think the conclusion here is that we're not going to add
this form (at this time, at least), and since the other bits talked
about here have been fixed, I'm closing this bug report.

Fixing indentation was also mentioned (and the indentation here is
indeed very bad), but there's a separate bug report for that: bug#9622.
