if you want to commit it no problem, was just about moving the thing around,
thing about that patch is that i din't understoood from the thread if it was 
for 4.2 or 4.2 (is a "new feature" enough, dunno :))
anyways that patch it doesn't break anything compatibility wise, so i think it 
can be merged in any moment
