That can't hurt at least :-)

I haven't investigated the issue a lot, but your solution would probably 
still need to keep the status quo by default for backwards compatibility 
(ie. it has to be optional). Beyond that, if you manage to implement it 
without ABI problems, it would sure be an interesting improvement.

Many interface classes haven't received much love, as fixing them would 
also require fundamental changes to the API (like introducing 
model/view/controller separation).

Bye,
    Axel.
