I will never reject an extension that is useful to  some  people  and
does not hurt all the others. If your extension can be turned off (by
compile-time configuration options) completely I see no reason not to
add it.

My personal opinion is that such features are  more  or  less  wasted
effort,  since  the  same  result is usually easily available without
this feature. But if the work has already been done, it would be even
worse NOT to make it available to others.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
