You may want to consider submitting enhancement tickets for 2.0 (enhancements are closed for 1.1 and 1.2). However, I would offer one tiny bit of advice:
Don't say "framework X has this, so I think cake should have it", because that is going to get you nowhere fast. Instead, just say "I think cake should be enhanced with a feature that I will now describe: blah blah" and don't even mention where you saw it if you saw it :P I don't think Cake is about keeping up with the Jones' or whatever you want to call it. I believe it's about building upon a strict set of conventions and a philosophy and making the best framework possible within those parameters.
