I don't know of anyone who's already done it. I don't think this
should be on by default but we could probably find a clean way to put
it in core, and I do think it would be more discoverable and more
likely to be maintained by the core team and community if it was
there. If you're interested we can help you add the hooks etc that
will let it be turned on. Even in core it should be done through a
hook-based approach rather than patching all over the place.
