I think you've made your point by now. However, 1.7 is close enough to being released that this feature will NOT be included in it. How do you suggest to proceed?
Personally, I'd suggest documenting this in the 1.7 release notes and contributing the hands to work on this for 1.8. Les Mikesell wrote on Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 10:13:43 -0500: > I'm surprised
