I think that at least the examples mentioned by Mario can be easily
done with the
current tools and I would never add any kind of complexity without a
very obvious
gain of functionality. Not only because as a user I prefer a very
simple tool even if
a bit terse, but because I want the application to remain simple to
develop and maintain, otherwise developers (Jaap!) might get sick of
it and stop developing it. That would be the worse scenario. So please
keep it as simple as it is and do not complicate devs lives... in the
interest of users!
