I agree, a helper function would be nice. I have earlier sent a patch
to the PM core, that is similar to the code above, though it was
rejected in it's current form. Let me follow up on this again.

At this point, would a way forward be to still go ahead with this
patch and then convert to, when/if, the helper function from the PM
core becomes available?

Kind regards
