But no one acted on that suggestion, so it sounds like it was silently
rejected. Or maybe no one, including yourself, was interested in
fixing a Windows-only problem.

Please don't call names perfectly correct code just because you
disagree with its idea. Windows users were asking for the fix to this
bug for weeks now; it seems no one else was interested in fixing it
except your truly. Since I did the work, I get to choose the tools
and the way of doing it, and I see nothing wrong with the idea I
implemented. If anyone was interested in doing it some other way,
they had more than a month to beat me to it.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean here. Specific examples of
incompatibilities are welcome, as are bug reports about any such
problems.
