I understand your viewpoint.  I'm proposing something, I'm not ordering 
anything.  It just happens that this idea cannot be implemented with a 
mode or a package, like proportional fonts for example.  Making this 
possible would not change anything for users who would not want to use it. 
If it is not possible to implement this, or if nobody else thinks it would 
be useful, that's fine.
