Comment:

 Ok, after discussion on IRC with arma a bit this morning, I've ended up
 with a branch.

 This is untested (although it compiles and chutney is happy), there are no
 unit tests nor "in the wild" proper testing done on it for now.

 I just want to throw it here as a full draft on this because 1) it adds
 quite a bit of code and 2) I want a review of the code logic before going
 in review mode.

 Branch: `bug24767_033_01`
