Don't be too over dramatic, Antoine.  A lot of patches have sat fallow
for a long time, and a lot of us maintain our own stuff on top what's in
master.

There's also been discussion on this particular topic since long before
you showed up.  cworth pushed back on adding a delete key until we had a
more integrated solution.  I think the same thing is happening here.

I'm going to take a crack at an implementation of this functionality
this weekend that I think will satisfy most of out needs.

jamie.
