Looks good! One thing I will need before merging in for 2.14 is the CLA from

https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson/blob/master/contributor-agreement.pdf

which is usually easiest to do by printing, filling & signing, scan/photo, email to info at fasterxml dot com.
Once this is done (and it is only needed for the first contribution; one works for all contributions), I can proceed with merging.

Looking forward to getting this improvement in, I like it!

@Tomasito665 the code works in Java 11 but not in Java 8 - can you fix it so that the code works in Java 8 too?

[cowtowncoder]

It is possible that this is due to an issue with Github actions -- to resolve, merge or rebase from 2.14 (there has been a fix) -- and not PR itself.

@Tomasito665 do you intend to continue with this PR or have you abandoned it?

[cowtowncoder]

I definitely hope we could get this merged, for what that is worth!

[Tomasito665]

Heyo! Sorry for the radio silence. Thanks for your comments. Had set this pull request on pause for a while while focusing on work/study. I will rebase this tomorrow on top of 2.14 and see if it works!

Thank you @Tomasito665! Also, if and when things work, CLA would be good to get so I can merge PR.

[Tomasito665]

@cowtowncoder I have rebased this branch on top of 2.14. Could you re-trigger CI?

With regards to the CLI CLA, I sent it in on June 4th to [email protected] from [email protected].

Let me know if you have found it or, if not, I will resend it.

[cowtowncoder]

@Tomasito665 doh! CLA had gone into Gmail's spam folder. I should check it now and then. But yes, I got it now!

Thank you @Tomasito665 for this contribution: it looks great, I think you got it right, impressive! This will be in 2.14.0 once released, I hope to get the first release candidate out in July.
