Many thanks.  Note that I wasn't objecting to the idea of that feature - I can 
see how something like it might be useful.  However, before adding code for a 
new feature you should explain exactly what the feature is intended to be, and 
why, and get some approval.  Please feel free to keep developing the idea and 
propose a new feature if you want to.
