Surely that is the point of this list: to discuss designs and ideas
before committing to implement?

That's quite true, and I agree that the implementation of that
suggestion would not be trivial.  I had intended to do the work and
submit a proposed patch myself, but thought to first test the water by
putting in the suggestion via the bugs database.  The response told me
that there would probably have been no point in continuing further.

(This is not personal pique at being rejected, even if it may sound
that way - merely an attempt to find out the correct route by which
ideas and suggestions ought to be submitted for discussion).
