Suggestions can always be filed via http://bugreport.apple.com 
<http://bugreport.apple.com/> and are more likely to get proper consideration 
by the appropriate team than conversations on a mailing list.  In this case 
I’ve gone ahead and logged the request, but it’s always safest to log 
suggestions yourself so there’s a way for engineering to ask clarifying 
questions.
