-  There has been no activity in this thread for 180 days. While we care about
-  every issue and we’d love to see this fixed, the core team’s time is 
-  limited so we have to focus our attention on the issues that are most 
-  pressing. Therefore, we will likely not be able to get to this one.
-  
-  
-  However, PRs for this issue will of course be accepted and welcome!
-  
-  
-  If there is no more activity in the next 180 days, this issue will be closed
-  automatically for housekeeping. To prevent this, simply leave a reply here. 
-  Thanks!

-  This issue will be closed due to lack of activity for 12 months. If you’d
-  like this to be reopened, just leave a comment; we do monitor them!
