This will be in the next version, to be release January. If you prefer
snapshots, try and get back in 2 weeks and it should be there.

Indeed.

Actually you can.
I'm very curious of what lvn writes, but it obviously requires
subscription. Could you please mail me the information.

Kind Regards
Jesper.
