Are you sure? I've not seen a prototype or reference implementation of either idea, nor a demonstration of how such features would work in practice. We know from past experience that there is a big gap between "I have an idea" to "this is a viable solution", and I've not seen anyone do the work to move either bug from the former to the latter. It's all very well claiming "this will fix everything!", but for non-trivial features such as these, you really need to get at least a rough implementation to try it out. > > > subslots are far from perfect atm > > > > But they're much better than not having them, and they're probably > > as good as you're going to get any time soon. > > if you waste your time trolling like in the other thread some > weeks/months ago then yes nothing else but trolling will happen. Accusations of trolling have nothing to do with getting a feature implemented. Writing a prototype implementation does. -- Ciaran McCreesh
