Yes, this could even be a tool for devscripts ... I'm ccing its
maintainer to share the idea. :)

This time I bcced the people subscribed to the package via the PTS. Most
regular contributors to devel-ref are subscribed there. Maybe they have
an opinion and/or find it interesting enough to actually patch the sources

This little sheel function can easily be put in its own script that
could be included in devscripts. It would need a bit more polishing for
the parsing of arguments but that's it ...
