    One thing which always surprises me in this discussion
    (it comes up about once a year, it seems) is that
    nobody participating in this discussion ever starts
    writing any code for it.

    Is this a feature which is only wanted by people who
    don't want to code, or is this just a signal that the
    amount of trouble involved just isn't worth it?
