Well it makes sense to do it, but as to *when* I’m not sure. Definitely worth getting a bugzilla enhancement logged in the system.
Feels something that could be done by a separate contributor actually - it isn’t *too* complicated, that I could probably guide. But I’m not sure I have time to implement it myself right now. cheers, Andy > On Jun 19, 2015, at 6:57 PM, Henrique Rebêlo <h...@cin.ufpe.br> wrote: > > So, What you think Andy?
