While they're limited, there are complexly viable prototype quality
implementations possible here without a large amount of work to get them
started. I'm not worried too much about this feature being unused. As
I was just reminded when assembling an page on the wiki about it:

#1--by a large margin--on the UserVoice feature request survey that
Peter kicked off.
