Thank you for the reroll.

I think it would nice to merge this topic soon. It looks ready for
merging but still miss a few things, FMPOV:

#0 Fix comments I sent for the patches. :-)

#1 Make it experimental.

#2 Add the known issues in the doc. The manual page is the right place
   but pointing to the man from the configuration example would be a good
   plus.
