I didn't really check at the time, it was mostly a gut feel &
braindump in case anyone else was moved to try and implement this.
(You saw the scrappiness of the diff, right?)

It's either just not present where need it to be (ie. we simply aren't
passing some parameters around or something quote-unquote-trivial), or
we really don't know it.
