For the record, this is a commonly-requested feature where people ask "why doesn't it do this?" and the response is generally "I dunno, but it shouldn't be hard to implement; why don't you try?" =) Would be great to get this in once the feature freeze has melted. What's the procedure for handling patches in this situation? Just ask the author to re-submit after the release? -Phil
