NO!  Never make anything any more complex than it needs to be.

First you have to show that there's actually a need for such a
superfluous feature.  As I said I cannot even imagine such a need!

And then you have to show that the "costs" of such a feature, both in

usability of the entire system, are worth it too!  :-)
