Sorry to chime in this late (patches posted as binary attachments
usually discourage me from looking at them), but I cannot answer the
question at this time, given what I know about this feature.  Maybe if
you post what you think should be described in the manual, I can make
up my mind then.

Unfortunately, the NEWS entry is not instrumental enough.  It doesn't
tell the user how to use the feature.  Is it possible to come up with
a more useful entry?
