Comment(by simonpj):

 You are the first person to ask for TDNR!  Generally the proposal elicited
 approximately zero reaction, somewhat to my surprise.  Personally I like
 the idea very much, but it's a significant implementation task, and of
 course an ongoing maintenance load.  So I'm only going to do it if there's
 a significant body of support.  The more support you can drum up the
 better.  Adding some notes about why you like it (ie how it'd help solve
 your problem) would help to substantiate the motivation.

 Simon
