No, nothing currently.

Evan asked me to rework it.  I'm glad he did, for I learned a few new TableGen 
tricks.  So the exercise wasn't a complete waste.  I've decided I'm going to
file the patch away in a little "to-do" folder and when I need it I can pull
it back out.  Until then, I don't see a reason to push it upstream if no one
else finds it especially useful at the moment.

It's more important I get other stuff merged anyway, so I don't think we need
to do anything more with this right now.
