I think the problem is rather that your use-scheme is incredibly
specialized and obscure (not that there's anything wrong with this - I
just wonder why it would belong into the mainline version of the
software).

Anyway, if this isn't for fixing broken files, and does not involve any
plans to write/distribute broken files, then ignore me.
