Why close an enhancement request such as this, just because, years later, I can't recall a specific scenario where the enhancement is _needed_? Why wouldn't this be a good thing to have (and at no cost)? Even if you're not personally convinced of the usefulness (in spite of your saying that it makes sense), why not leave it open, for someone else who might decide to implement it at some point? What do we gain by your closing such an enhancement suggestion? Suppose that the OP suggesting the enhancement had not replied to your request for remembrance of a specific scenario. Suppose that the OP was no longer around. Would that be a reason why the enhancement is a bad idea? I don't think so. (And no such bad-idea reason has been given, BTW.)
