Hi Jonathan, That is indeed a great idea, but the message that I was trying to convey is that every idea implies a responsibility, which I believe specially holds true for Open Source. Everyone in here has great ideas, but the hard part is crossing the brainstorming stage and doing the implementation, and it generally takes someone to lead the effort. If you'd like to contribute to that, that'd be awesome. The next step I'd suggest would be to write a specification and then we can take it from there. Thanks!
