Hello List,

well, 6 days have passed since I sent my original post and there isn't
any response yet. Not very surprisingly but anyway I would like to
know two things:

1. What do others think about the usefulness of such a feature?

2. What are the chances for this to be included into the next (or one
   of the subsequent) release?

Best regards,
Andrei
