I would like to take this opportunity, given the number of implementers in
the room (guten tag, Claus!), to ask:

Hypothetically, if this work were to take the path of declaring a new code
point for this purpose, what's the likelihood of adoption?

Please note "instead of or in addition to" in the sentiment above.

From an Exim implementor's POV, I'd want to know "what's the purpose?"
before answering.  Lacking a compelling one, I see no incentive.
