Since this was an enhancement, not a bug fix, it didn't get into
the release.  We tried to avoid introducing untested code into
the bugfix release.  However, in this case, I'll make an exception.
I'm sure it will come back to bite me. ;-)  If you grab the release
again, it will have this code and the bundle suffix fix in it.

I agree, but see their point in this case.
