And yes, this gets brought up from time to time and the answer is always no. There are scripts available if you feel a need.
Seriously?
  1. It would be optional.
  2. The answer is "I have better things to do with my life" -- that does not preclude accepting a merge request.
  3. The previous times you allude to were whiny demands. This is the first time I am aware of that someone approaches from the other end and offers to contribute it.
  4. I helped author, and currently maintain, one of those scripts. I think I have the right to say, this way is better (if coded in a way that meets Kovid's approval).

Both of you -- I managed to answer all your concerns without dismissing the OP out of hand.
