I've been planning to look into this after the 23.1 release, but if someone wants to work on it now, please do. I recall that we had an inconclusive discussion over the relative merits of two proposals, one by Joakim that (IIRC) relied on window parameters, and another by Martin that uses more built-in code. Does anyone have any new thoughts about this?
