It's not on the TODO list. I recall it being raised from time to time 
but I certainly don't recall a consensus that it should be done, nor 
how, so if you're implying that such a thing is a settled decision I 
suspect you're not entirely correct. Of course, my memory has been known 
to have errors ...
