You are not alone.

I submitted a patch once (details available on request) which was
deemed "an egregious hack" and forthwith discarded.

I was rather put out by this, considering no explanation was
ever given for this out-of-hand rejection of what I considered to
be a rather useful improvement to the situation, largely motivated
by the fact that it was something that really bit me hard on the nuts.

Agreed.
