A Suggested-by: tag indicates that the patch idea is suggested by the person

named and ensures credit to the person for the idea. Please note that this

tag should not be added without the reporter's permission, especially if the

idea was not posted in a public forum. That said, if we diligently credit our

idea reporters, they will, hopefully, be inspired to help us again in the

future.
