Yes. I am interested in that. If it does not cause additional slow down
or memory blow. Sure yes.

If it does because it needs to preserve more information, e.g. space and
comments it would be nice to put it under some options or even compile time
config option. I care about people don't use those feature can still run
sparse fast.
