I finally found the time to look at this thread and the commit
ff0bf9b850d53 again and have additional comments.

I still think a modified version of the commit would be nice to have
but as it's intended to be used by scripts I'm not sure why the generated
page has to be HTML. Returning plain text may be even faster although
I didn't benchmark it.

I'm also not sure that it has to show up in the menu.
