Comment(by deryni):

 See but it isn't two lines of code (if you think it is you are welcome to
 contribute said two lines of code and if they actually work as expected
 they'll be accepted).

 The problem is that there's no mechanism to handle rejection messages in
 the core at all and so the options here are to drop all support for
 rejection messages or come up with a design for core rejection messages,
 implement it, and get it into the next release which can take it (keeping
 version numbering in mind).

 If you would like to discuss the API/design requirements to make this work
 I'm sure such a discussion would be most welcome. Either here, in the IRC
 channel, in the MUC room, or on the mailing list.

 There is an alternative to the above and that would be to give the signal
 that the plugins are listening for an additional return value option which
 simply drops the request (instead of rejecting it as I believe they must
 be doing now) but that's more of a hack and I'm not sure how that plays in
 to our API versioning scheme offhand.
