Actually, I think this is a nice idea, since a bank may have as policy that their
customers aren't allowed to write down their card number anywhere, even not in a
browser-fill-in-form cache. The system with credit card numbers might be stupid as
is, but that is what we have to live with in day-to-day life.
This is a convenience, agreed, but a convenience I think is sensible to put in,
ideology put aside.
