Absolutely. This does work from 3.0.1 on.

I would urge that pr 38284 be applied and
if you want to use large pools, pr 38286.

For 4.0 onwards, the aforementioned pr's are suggested plus 38287
will be required to get it to compile.

I suspect you would need to ask Darren Reed.

I guess if I have to ask, I probabaly wouldn't understand...8-)
