Hi Andre, Monte mentioned above that he didn't know about it at the time he created the library, and I guess no one needed it badly enough to request a feature enhancement until September 24, 2020 I can't even imagine the number of things a development platform like lc must keep track of to stay up to date. I also wonder how many people in the world are truly familiar with the LC's C++ source code. 2 maybe 3?
