One thing you learn with working with libraries, is that assuming that the way
your library does it is the same way others do it is the single biggest mistake
you can make.

What I actually said is talking about if it's a bug or an enhancement is moot,
until someone either pays someone to, or writes code themselves to change it.

IE without a patch, nothing will change, no matter how we label it.

Awesome, I assume you will be working on a patch for this? Or paying someone to
do this for you?
