Really, really irritating reply.

All the guy was asking was if that was a possible approach to the problem. 
Nobody was suggesting that a patch would be forthcoming or even that it was 
worth doing.

Before a patch can be written it is necessary to know if the suggested approach 
would solve the problem.

Try easing up on people sometimes.
