Hmm, I'm thinking of dropping this patch, and adding it later with a
config option. This way, when it is not enabled, the data used for
conversion can be freed. I rather have that then have this stuck as an
API.

Adding it with a config option that states that it will waste memory
lets the distros decide if they want the extra footprint or not.
