WRONG PLACE! This is just going to be lost in the noise here, really.  
File a feature request for these. Or maybe we should try to use a  
separate "TODO" / "Task" tracker for ideas like these -- I've been  
thinking about this myself last night. Maybe we should use MantisBT or  
Trac or even the SF.net tracker to store our various TODOs, and to  
then sort them by category; by importance; by "usefulness", etc.

Please, put these ideas into tracker entries, or onto a Wiki page.  
Same to everybody else who is using this overly long thread to sound  
out ideas :)

Bye,
