no - I haven't noticed any discussion of people working on this.  When it
first came up a few years ago, I pointed out some of the places and they
were addressed.  (Actually, when I first saw the slang-configuration for
this, I regarded that as a bug - tastes differ though).  If someone added
it, I would make sure it was optional).

I guess the mutt developers are more interested in other details.
