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?
