Wow! You really took the ball and ran with it. I was just trying to
clean up what I saw as a minor UI issue. These are great ideas but they
are way outside of the scope of what I am working on. I want to finish
up the component library work before I move on to something else. This
should probably go into a feature request list somewhere.
