Indeed, but until that pie-in-the-blue-sky thing is available I think
it's worthwhile to make this tiny enhancement (it would have been
quicker to JFDI than entertaining a whole thread about it).
What is an enhancement in your scope would break things in other
people's scopes -- we would have had this discussion either way. By
discussing things first you at least escaped accusations of being part
of a "cabal" doing things "in the secret" and "shoving it down
other
people's throats" ;-P.
