	One possibility:
	1) Propose it here.  Perhaps it's already been done and hiding
under another name; perhaps someone is currently working on it;
perhaps there are good reasons why it's never going to happen.
	2) Once it's passed through the crucible, write it up as a PR -
"http://www.freebsd.org/support/bugreports.html", probably as a
Miscellaneous Non-Critical Change-Request.
