Hi Loren, thanks for your review and kind invitation: the fix is quite 
complex and I was making
sure that everyone had a chance to see and test it on its favoured platform.

3.3 is approaching quickly and therefore will commit it later today to 
mainline: with some luck
we can have a variant of it (using always_no_conv, as suggested by 
Pétur) for 3.3 too or at
least 3.3.1.

Thanks,
Paolo.
