Thanks, but I don't build Emacs.  Hopefully something like this will be added to
Emacs itself, even if it is only a partial solution.

Did you mean to close the bug?  It seems to be getting closed just because (?)
6991-done is in the recipients list.

If you did not mean to close it, let's please reopen it.  Even if it is made
only a wishlist item, it is a useful enhancement request.
