Hi Michal,

Apologies for the late reply. What I want to do is to build in a
separate branch on OBS V8 with your changes and then to see how
Chromium reacts on it. From the past I know that chromium is quite
reacting on changes within V8. However I don't think that your request
should make such a big difference.

I will let you know the result.

Regards

Raymond
