Yes, once there's a development release including this (which I expect
will be 5.35.8 due in just a few days now), I'll take a look at what
can be done to dual-life this as a concept.

It will require making a brand new distribution with a new .xs file.
There may be possibility to reüse the current .pm file or that may need
creating as well.

Once I have an initial version I'll take a look and see how much
copy-pasting I had to do to make it work, and whether some of that can
be automated into some sort of autogeneration system to avoid needing
to keep the two separate files in sync manually.
