Of course, a more generic approach would be better.

I did it that way I wasn't that aware that a more generic approach is
in the pipeline, and I needed something usable now.

The patch is already used in the field and seems to work quite well,
but if I'm alway open for better solutions.

I figure that the generic solution will still take some time, so can we
take this one for the next merge window and rework it in the next one ?
