I believe it's more a matter of "too hard for too little value".  Not 
that it's all *that* hard (AFAIK) - but it's annoying enough of a change 
that I'd like to see at least one compelling usecase before supporting 
it.  It also may have a (slight) overhead cost, which in Production 
stage is a good argument against it.
