High time.  It should have been put in at least half a year ago.
While it missed the semi-official feature freeze, this was IMO just
an oversight (didn't think of it myself): it is not that any mad
rushes of last-minute fixes were what was causing this.

I don't think it should cause any trouble, and I was short before
reporting a few problems with message-mode.  But it would be a waste
of time bothering about fixing them in 5.9 AFAICS.
