Sounds like feature creep to me.

This is probably better suited as a plugin as it can be easily monkey patched onto the methods in question.

It's definitely cool, but I agree - feature creep. I'm not sure the amount of code it introduces is worthwhile for the core.

+1 on making this a plugin instead

+1. With three prior agreements on this being better suited as a plugin, I'm closing ticket this due to feature creep. Please feel free to turn this into a plugin instead.
