Sure, it could. (BTW, this pause mode is nothing new, it's been in our code for some time.)
But that's a feature request that has nothing to do with the purpose of this thread, i.e. is quite off-topic. If you want this, please file a requested on our feature request tracker :).

This way, the player could profit from it for example when trying to read subtitles that vanish faster than he can read (e.g. in Drascula).

Well, you can always just comment out the call to pauseEngine, if you wanted to.
