Hi David, and thanks for taking the time to respond.

I suppose I might have thought that, but I didn't. That's partly why I
asked on this list.

OK.

So I guess in this case either 1 or 2 has not happened, or they have

Yes, that also partly why I resent. Generally it seems most questions sent
to this list get some kind of response. So perhaps my original question
was not seen by "the correct people."

Or perhaps they "simply don't want to answer." Well I wondered about that
too, since the last person who asked about this didn't get a response
either. Is it a particularly stupid question? Is there some history that
makes it a touchy subject? Or is it just the Bermuda Triangle of this
mailing list? :)

I'm not really desperate, and unlikely to do either 1 or 2. But it still
would be helpful to have a sense of what the future _might_ look like in
this area. This seems like a relatively common type of inquiry on this
list. Maybe there are reasons this will never get implemented. (e.g.,
it's a Bad Idea, or it's so hard to implement that your head would explode
if we explained it to you, or it would interfere with x, y or z). Maybe
there's no conceptual or technical obstacles, and it really does just come
down to someone doing it. Maybe something else entirely.

People on this list generally seem pretty generous in spirit and sharing of
their knowledge, insights and opinions. It seemed a pretty reasonable and
typical question to ask. I guess if there's no answer to be had, then so
be it!

Cheers,
Ken
