Yes. But I think that that's completely inappropriate for putting into Phobos. 
We would actually need a separate project for that. And someone would need to 
set up and manage that project. Given that they wouldn't be doing code reviews 
or maintaining the code or whatnot, it's not at all the same as getting 
someone to take the time to produce a large piece of functionality for Phobos 
and might ultimately end up not taking much time from the person leading the 
project. But someone still needs to step up and do it. And no one has done 
that. Several have suggested it, and a number of us have agreed that it's a 
good idea, but as long as no one actually takes the initiative and actually
does it, it's just a nice idea.
