Ok... so should I open a PR? I have a fork ready...

 Your request was carefully considered, denied and the ticket closed.

That is about as obvious as it gets in an issue tracker.

The ticket is not closed... I initially reopened it because I thought I and
the community could provide more convincing reasoning/consensus over the
opinions of the maintantainer (Andy Allen) who closed it. It has remained
open since.

Maybe I'm really confused.
