You are free to contact sales ximian com and make an argument as to why
Ximian should implement this feature. If they are persuaded by your
argument (hint: they listen mostly to $$$ *chuckle*), then they will
pass it along to me.

We'll also consider patches, if that is the method you prefer.

I consider this the end of the thread as there's nothing else I can
offer and further debate won't get anyone anywhere.
