It seems OK to me, but we could perhaps have customizations for that.

The problem is that I don't see how such a customization could be
implemented on platforms such as NS, or in the future, the PGTK port.

Yes, that's correct.

I could imagine some user customizations making use of it, but I have no
objection to making it an internal variable.

Thanks.
