I just wanted to say what I would do in case it would help to give a middle 
approach between what Oswald wants and what you want to do. I never said 
_I_ had to accept anything.

Anyway, IMHO (read "Humble") if the feature is _disabled_ by default I 
think only "powerusers" who need it (it seems Oswald has reasons to think 
they exist) will enable it and they don't need a lot of usability  to make 
it work. So we have time to fix the usability issues we (you and me) 
raised after 3.1 and then we can make it available to novice users which 
certainly need those usability issues fixed.

In any case, you really know how to make friends.

Oh, I'm very _very_ sorry for trying to help the "experts" without reading 
the 67 mails of the thread. I'll leave the "experts" on usability fix 
every usability bug the next time even when I think I can help.
