Happy to do that. Hopefully, I'll be able to share the extension (which
packages the patches as well) by the end of the week. As Helmut has
cleaned up the service chain for 4.7 things might get a it easier if an
extension was based on that version. However, I'd love to see something
that works with 4.5 as well. (My current patch and extension have been
used on 4.4 and 4.5.)

Thanks for the offer. I'll get back to you once I've had some time to
look into this again. Hopefully, this will happen in the next couple of
weeks.

Cheers,
