Since this sorta kinda maybe might if we hold our tongues right and
squint a little coincide very roughly with the release of 19.15, and
since as I understand it 19.15 will bundle tm, might it be possible to
coordinate these events?  That is, have 19.15 include the new VM?

(Not that Kyle has said that the way VM will be made MIME-aware is
tm.  I'm not sure what his plans are.  But I've cc'd Oscar Figueiredo,
who I understand has worked on tm-vm.)

This is by far the most oft-requested feature here by 19.14 users
(other than performance improvements).

If this is already being discussed behind the scenes, my apologies.

Holding my tongue and squinting,
