For what it's worth, Johan DeKleer at Xerox PARC asked for just such
functionality back in 1984. I don't remember what the public response
was then -- I seem to remember everyone trying to write clever, short
code sequences that would "do the trick". But the gaping hole still
stands. If just one more person seems to thinkg it is a good idea,
then that should carry much force with the X3J13 committee.
