Thanks Gabriel: your work would be much appreciated, and I would be glad
to test it both in dummy examples and in a real library (namely 
Lambdoc).
As for the timing, it won't be a problem for me to wait for 4.03 before
making a 1.0-final release of Lambdoc, particularly if the compiler team
sticks to the recent pattern of gifting the community with a summer 
release.
Moreover, it wouldn't surprise me if some more edge cases are found in 
the
meantime...

Best regards,
