Sure that is VERY understandable, I was merely trying to point out
that it would be great if it were to be considered for near-future
releases (I by all means am not egging anyone to stay up nights,
simply trying to convey a sense of need and a passion to see this
feature included at some point).  Having it listed in the wishlist
seems like a nice friendly reminder of that need.

As noted, I'd be more than happy to help out on that front.
