As a concept it is approved and most definitly welcome.
We just need to figure out a way of ensuring that the change doesn't
de-stablize things too much. One thought is to cut a branch, apply the
change there and then release that as a snap. People can then
download/test it allowing you to refine the change before committing it
to the trunk.
As a really bad tempoary hack, would the macro:
#define inferior_pid PIDGET (inferior_ptid)
allow you to break the changes down into a few smaller steps?
