"Please post any thoughts or ideas on the new or possible improvements."
Well, I saw that answer: "Long answer boils down to no."
To clarify, I am the only active coder making these sorts of changes. Unless and until wizards show up and make these sorts of things a priority there won't be anything new or added except at my convenience. I would love to have the time to make these changes, and eventually I will have that time, but for right now I've got more than enough projects and this is a low priority for me personally. By submitting these ideas to the forums there is a record to pursue when it does become a priority.
