Perhaps a branch for this would be good to get it implemented and then
see if the results are worth the added dep?  Seeing it in action could
make the case clear. :)

We could also ask the various package maintainers if they think users
of those packages will complain about the new dep more than they'll
enjoy the added functionality.  It would be great to get more of those
downstream maintainers active here anyway.

Doing it on a branch would also allow fewer changes to the trunk
before making a 1.0 release in the not so distant future (probably
with at least one more intermediate release to test out the any recent
changes and work out any kinks, get translations completed, etc.).
