Every few months a new player comes and suggests this. And every single time we have to explain him/her that his/her idea is great but, as you said, on Mur's "to do" list. Here I come and add: at the very bottom of it! It would be nice? Yes, sure...why not? It would be useful? Yes, sure but mostly for new players. Are we the ones to call the shots? Definitely not!
This issue has been brought up so many time and I have seen all the arguments. But it is not a major issue. It's not even an issue. It's an enhancement. Low low low priority. In time maybe we'll get it. And as you will grow you will not need it.
So, my conclusion is this: it will be nice, good, practical and probably it will be implemented. Trouble is: you have to wait an indefinite amount of time. And in the end you will discover that you don't need it anymore.
