Frankly, I'm not eager to encourage people to put many enhancement requests
into our ticket system. Right now we have too many tickets as it is, and it
is very difficult to find things, just with all the patches that have been
submitted and the compatibility bugs between the different versions.

Also, pretty reluctant to add any methods that will be hard to implement in
different implementations. As it is already, the "text" method is not
compatible between versions and we should really be encouraging people not
to use it. I don't think it really is a good practice any way.
