In GSoC terms, Mihai passed both the mid-term and final evaluation.

In terms of "does the code work", the snippets produced seemed good to
me.

I think this feature is working well enough that we really should get
it merged to trunk.  If there's room for further improvements, that
can then happen on trunk.  If those improvements need API tweaks, we
can cope with that, at least until we come to releasing 1.4.0.

It looks like Mihai started to work towards merging (I see a gsoc-merge
branch in his git repo), so I think I may have dropped the ball on this
one, and I'm very sorry if that's the case.

Mihai - can you confirm if the gsoc-merge branch is what we should be
looking at merging to trunk?  If it is, we can get on with reviewing
and applying those changes.

Cheers,
