Yes, that is a function that several people have asked for in the
past.  If it's implemented reasonably well there's a good chance
that we would include your code directly.  Even then we might make
a few changes here and there to make it fit our way of doing things.

Patches are always appreciated.  Whether they get used or not
usually depends on how much work it takes to integrate them in and
whether the new functionality is worth the effort.  This is one that
people have requested.

Welcome to the dev list!
