Yes, of course. I requested the feature at the BBS weeks ago.

Incidentally: you want the option. GU nearest, GU dithered, A2 nearest, A2 dithered.

The problem with dithering is that the current algorithm makes placement random. So, dynamically, in A2 if you change a minor part of the screen (e.g. cursor, UI, control anim etc.) you change most of the dots, heavily on the battery but easy on the eyes... In GU you would flash most of the screen!
So, you may also want a smarter (stateful) dithering algorithm.
