Out of interest, did a member of the core team actually say "no", or was it just a matter of proposing something and not getting traction? If it was the latter, it's important to remember that the core team are all volunteers, and sometimes the spare time of the core team doesn't necessarily match up with the spare time of volunteers in the wider community. As a result, well intentioned and desired work sometimes gets ignored. It's not (necessarily) being ignored because it was bad -- often it's just "we don't have enough cycles *right now*. > However, I think this would be extremely useful.

Like I've indicated, the first step isn't to write code at all - it's to get a good summary of the state of play of existing implementations. Multiple people have already taken a swing at an implementation; before we commit to one particular codebase, we need to understand what has already been offered by the community.
