it's just an idea, but why don't you create a switch that allow the user 
to understand an "extended" muttrc syntax like a 
g:use_muttrc_extensions that defaults to 0, but that a user could set 
to 1 ? so that we can (debian packagers) set to 1 by default if we feel 
so ?

it's just a tiny suggestion, we can obviously maintain a patch or use 
the URL you provided !

thanks !
