That point has been made a couple times. I expect it'll be implemented.
I don't know when, however, as I'm not sure how big a change that would be
to the current code. If it's a big change, it'll probably wait until the
base functionality is a bit more mature and stable. Still, even then, at
the current rate of change (which I don't believe is sustainable, at least
as long as Charles is doing nearly all the coding himself), it could
easily be there by end of (northern hemisphere) summer.
