Looking at the tracker issue, I see its priority has changed from Low->Medium, and then from Medium->Low. But this was four years ago, too. I think it's a great idea to add your example to the tracker, but I don't know if changing the priority is going to give it that much more attention. However, this is just my perspective on things.
