Hi Johannes
It has been very busy here and Ross and I have not had a meeting on this yet, so I am just touching base to let you know we haven’t forgotten you. What I do know is that this really needs to become a feature request (and thus moved to that forum, if you want me to?) so that it goes on to our development radar. It cannot quickly be implemented, and so it would would go forward to our next release cycle for consideration/inclusion.
In the short term, the immediate release cycle is 2.2.0 and the feature list is locked for that, so it would have to be considered for 2.3.0 at the earliest. So, not a quick release then and certainly more than 2 months away, being realistic.
