No it's not wrong to want these things. The problem is that we're not 
lacking in people posting this *same exact complaint* every month or so. 
We *are* lacking in people implementing these things.

If you want to see these nice accoutrements, *stop posting here and get 
to work*! These threads never, ever bring anything new or interesting to 
the table, they don't build any consensus, and they certainly don't get 
any code written.
