How are the procedures for this on this list? We don't have "procedure" for feature requests. It happens often that someone dreams aloud like I did above, and it's OK as long as "it shouldn't be hard to implement" is understood as "one day I should do it" and not "hey, you lazy devs, why don't you code that for me?" ;-). But in general, people get more interested when a proposal has a patch attached. I've added the idea here: https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/SmallProjectsIdeas (except I already changed my mind in the syntax) I may get some students to work on this in May, or do it myself one day. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
