Assuming someone was crazy enough to want to try and add such a feature,
what problems would he encounter along the way? If this has already been
outlined in a previous thread then a pointer to that discussion would be
most appreciated.

make quite a few mistakes and have longed for such a feature on more than
one occasion.
