I don't think this discussion "exploded".  Instead, I think asking
for such little wishes like you did is how free software works:
one has an idea, other share their thoughts about it.  And some of such ideas
are considered valuable or some even cool - and easy and overall worthwhile
to add - and therefore make it as a new feature into new versions of the
software.  In other cases like this, the discussion leads to a consent
that existing functionality or alternatives are deemed good enough.

So in this sense: thanks for asking. ;-)

Have a nice day,
Berny
