 sorry, you sound like the standard response from Southsoft - "it cant
be done, it breaks compatibility, wait for the next major release".

 Well - did you note that this was broken (or should I rather say ill
designed) well before the current *major* release? And none of the
beta-testers noted that?

 yet it's not been fixed in v2

 let me put it the more likely way - it was not changed because
outspoken people like you don't want/need it themselves and hence this
feature was not pushed or even turned down (like you do here) for other
stuff. New features and changes always need proponents on developments
like this. We are NOT talking about a technical limitation.
