I would like to +1 this, but maybe for a different reason than others: There are some apps, such as those written in Java, where pinning to the launcher doesn't work. When you click the pinned icon to launch it, it pulses for a while but nothing happens. Presumably it doesn't get the correct command line. Obviously fixing this would be best, but being able to pin icons to the dash would be a useful stopgap.
In addition, it would let you pin the same app with various different command lines -- maybe you often compare the same two directories with Meld or something.
