I should add that I think the impulse to do this is understandable and it would be nice if there was a sane way to do it, it's just that the more I think about it the more I think that this is a "planes and grasshoppers both fly" case; i.e., the two tools appear to do something similar, but they're really doing fundamentally different tasks that deserve separate interfaces.
