as i wrote in my previous mail, i fear that if you want to see this 
feature implemented in the near future, you have to look for somebody 
(who already has the necessary knowldeges) to implement it for the team 
(or who pays for it).

i think that everybody is aware that someting should be done, but -- 
sadly? -- the current implementation (and the existing workarounds) is 
not broken enough and the effort needed to implement too big to justify 
an higher priority.

the team may contradict me...
