Dear Carl, Well, all I can say that for me as a user it would make sense...
Curiosity: in what sense is it redundant? All solution/workarounds I have seen so far involve creation of new lists (subsets) adding to more processing/computation/memory usage. Redundant suggests that you know alternatives that don't do that. Does Guido ever change his mind?
