I for one need to have a clearer picture of what such a minor mode
would really do, without getting prematurily lost in the details of
possible implementations.

Once we have a clear goal, let's build a small list of steps, then
submit a patch for the first step.  (We can then work on a separate
branch for the whole feature, and spend months on this branch.)

If the change is relying on too many external libraries, it is not
very likely to happen.

The feature seems to bring interest, but let's refrain from spending
our enthusiasm in early and lengthy discussions that nobody can fully
follow, especially if you won't have time to hack something before
June...

So I really don't want to play the cold fish here, but let's move
with code and small steps rather than discussions and big goals.
