True. The code modifications aren't really all that big, though, and since I've proposed it as an "opt-in" feature (this could be changed in the future, of course), it should at least be pretty safe. > and it > will require some discussion from the core developers and the rest of > the community.

Although the feature request might be regarded as well established (since various aspects of it have been requested in the tickets I listed as long as three years ago) I did realize that my patch might be postponed by the push to release 1.0, even if there were a lot of interest in it. While of course I would rather that didn't happen (since it's a feature I use in a patched version of 0.96), I figured it would still worth working on as a post-1.0 feature--although in that case, hopefully the transition from 1.0 to the next version would be shorter than that from 0.96 to 1.0. > I'm not saying you shouldn't work on this - just that you will find it > difficult to get our attention over the next few months.

If I can determine that there is sufficient interest that there's a decent chance of it being used (always assuming the implementation is found acceptable, of course), I'll definitely work on it. > Yours > Russ Magee %-) Thanks.
