Sorry you're feeling frustrated. However, the "we won't support this" is directly related to our limited time. Even workarounds have to be evaluated, and evaluating patched typically takes (me at least) between an hour up to a whole evening. It won't be the first time a workaround opens up a can of worms no-one imagined before implementing it. In fact, as far as *I* am concerned, those resolvers are very workaround-ish, and opened up the door for more requests we didn't intend.

In the end, we are the little dictators of our project, and sometimes (unfortunately for you in this case) that means that we just say no to stuff, even if it seems unreasonable. :-) In the end, if you really feel it is important, you can patch a project yourself - which once upon a time wasn't crazy at all -, and you can leave the JIRA issue open in case someone at some point gets inspiration to work on it.

Cheers,

Eelco
