Thanks for the answer,
  No I don't believe either that it's of vital importance, I just thought if it 
was trivial to implement, we could make good use of it. I of course did not see 
the source to be able to estimate how much work it would entail, I'll just have 
to trust your judgement on that. 

  I don't think I will create a TJC issue regarding this, but if someone else 
reading this mail does, please send the link in this thread so I or whoever 
stumbles across this post can vote on it.

Thanks
Kris
