The possibility of such a capability was mentioned in
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Deletion_requests/File:German_stamp-_Marlene_Dietrich_crop.PNG&diff=41773339&oldid=41764625
and then in
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#When_to_crop_and_when_not_to_crop
with the following text: 'If we had image tags that would let us crop in
wikitext, perhaps "There is little point in doing crops such as this in any
case" might make some sense, but we would have to teach everyone who is using
crops how to crop in wikitext. Many original photographers leave a large margin
for error when composing their photographs, with the thought "I can always crop
it later" - this was what I was taught in photography class. To prefer full
images with EXIF metadata, and not allow cropping, flies in the face of classic
photography.'
