Hi,

Last time this was discussed, I more or less understood the conclusions as:
 - This functionality is not really needed
 - The efficiency of my proposed implementation is questionable (scalability,
   in particular)

Which are both valid points. Here is the thread:

But I'm ready to discuss this again :)
