Could you do that?  The ‘request’ procedure can simply be made public
and otherwise left unchanged, but we’d need a docstring and an entry in
the manual.  Can you take a look?

I’ll happily apply the patch afterwards, and I promise you won’t have to
wait as much as you did so far!  :-)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
