It's almost trivial to implement 'the perfect' here, almost no more
effort than your partial solution; there is no "perfect enemy of the
good" situation here -- "perfect enemy of the good" only applies when
"the perfect" is significantly harder / more effort than "the good", but
that's not the case here.
Given that a proper fix is very easy, simple and low-effort and
furthermore, it is even known what form the proper fix would take (see:
extra field, + adjust procedure in (gnu build activation) slightly),
there aren't any roadblocks except for an apparent refusal by you to
invest a little extra effort.
If you genuinely find it actually hard to implement, please tell so and
I can give you some pointers on what procedures appear to be need to be
modified. Currently, your response appears to be made in bad faith t me.
Greetings,
Maxime
