Well done! I didn't know where to start from. I'll have a look and see
if we can improve things for this too. I'm a bit skeptical however. :(

Looks sound to me, nice one!
Did you try a build with the "custom" library?
I guess it would also be acceptable upstream.

Yeah, I saw it pass in the flood of messages. Lucky to notice it. :)
