I'm glad this discussion has come up because the feature is something I
would very much like to see implemented fully.  I think I asked briefly
about it some weeks back but didn't pursue the issue.  Are there any
estimates for when it might be implemented?

I wish I could contribute but I'm not a very good programmer (and don't
know Python) so my practical help can't be much.  Are there any other
suitable contributions that can be made (e.g. putting money towards a
bounty for this feature, or just ideas for how this feature should be
implemented from a user's perspective)?
