Why not? It's often good to stick to "normal", "standard", or common UI
features so that users know what to expect. But what's the harm in providing
functionality where the common UIs have none?
You're missing the point. You're proposing we implement the capacity
to provide a certain kind of GUI feature. Before we do that, I want
to know whether users expect or want that kind of feature in GUIs. If
they don't, let's save the trouble of writing and maintaining code to
implement it.
