Why? IMHO this option will be strictly useless. Please note there is
*no* UI without some restrictions/limitations. You couldn't get the user
an ability to customize everything in your application.

JFYI, there is a rule in an application development called 90/10 (or
80/20 - it doesn't matter): you
will have to spend 10% of development time to create an ideas, describe
them as algorithms, to write and debug your sources etc. _and_ 90% of
time - to create a UI (of course if you wish to sell your application
:-).

:-) Is there a way to determine which option suggested by some user is
_really_ useful?

Please remember that there are so many quoting styles inluding, for
