Excellent. I am planing on a 4.11.3 release soon. I have just got gcc building
on the latest MacOS with the latest Xcode and I will start a host sweep today
once the patches are in the repo on the 4.11 branch.

If this change makes 4.11.3 great, else we can plan a 4.11.4 or .5, .6 etc
release once it is ready. I see this as a significant addition and I am happy to
plan a release around it if we need too.

Agreed.
