What are the odds of having this be backported to 1.9.x? We need custom dictionary support to support SPDY without relying on FFI or other native extensions.

ex: https://github.com/igrigorik/spdy/blob/master/lib/spdy/compressor.rb

You may know, in principle backporting is for bug fixes.
And even if 1.9.3 backport this, 1.9.2 and 1.8.x still needs ffi.
This means your pain won't decrease, will it?

I think #5929 should be backported instead. While #5937 makes working with custom dictionaries easier, #5929 fixes the current API (#set_dictionary) to be fully usable.

@naruse (Yui NARUSE): as Eric pointed out in his original ticket (#5929), I do believe this is a bug, as the current API advertises that it can set and use the dictionary, but that is not the case.

I've opened a different / new ticket: http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6516
