Wilker: not sure what you were expecting, but you just announced it on this 
list 2 days ago :) Give it a bit more time.

Everybody else: come on, people! Many of you have been asking for some sort of

exist, and Wilker here is finally offering a workable solution. Feedback, 
please :)

Cheers,
David
