Rich has stated in a later thread on the dev list that he's more concerned with library refinement for the time being. The idea seemed to be that our efforts should be placed in getting signatures right & improving performance. I'm all for having the "what if" discussions, but now doesn't seem to be the right time for adding features. Hopefully there will be time for this in the future.
