[Btw, thanks for the apology, Maru, that was big of you.]
I actually don't think it's so religious, because even those who are
opposed to including the feature can still understand why some might
desire it. Our opposition is more based on a) wanting to avoid adding
more complexity to the tool before we're *sure* it's worth it, and b)
the knowledge that there is a workaround, in the form a custom
property attached the file, for those who really need it.
To us, a feature's *inclusion* is what needs to be justified, not its
exclusion. It's a judgement call, there isn't a right or wrong.
Maybe someday there will be enough call for it, and someone will do
it.
Best,
