I'd like to ping this patch again.
I tried the suggested alternate approach, which I mentioned last time I
pinged. However, that approach did not work out correctly. And, the
approach taken in this patch is what is used by the TUI to do exactly
the same thing.
So, I'd like to ask you to please reconsider this.
