Well stated. Unless there's a technical issue blocking the implementation, the workaround is trivial, or it's a case of user error, the general attitude from the devs toward these kinds of things is "why not?"
[EDIT] For the record, I think RaveYard's posts are entirely appropriate, though, because the attitude isn't "lol just du this" but rather "eh, here's some things; would be best as a real feature though".
