Thanks, but I think this should be discussed on emacs-devel first.
The bug tracker is not a good vessel of discussing ideas; in
particular. quite a few of people who should be part of such a
discussion don't read bug-gnu-emacs regularly, and must be explicitly
CC'ed to take notice.

So I suggest to start the discussion on emacs-devel, and only switch
here if/when the idea and its implementation aspects are clear enough
to post a patch.

Thanks.
