Boruch, this patch sits in my queue since the day you first posted
it.  And the reason is that the feature is incomplete, as even you
point out: such features should support dragging by mouse and other
GUI niceties.  It also lacks a NEWS entry.

If you or someone else has time and motivation to make this feature
more complete and add the necessary docs, I will gladly push the
changes.  Otherwise, it will have to wait until I have a rainy day
(which could take a while ;-).

Thanks.
