[wp-hackers] Prevent Writing to .htaccess

[Ryan Bilesky]

Forgive me if I am being nieve since I am still al little new to wordpress
but why can't WP have a way to set custom .htaccess rules and when WP
flushes .htaccess and readds WP rules it could readd your custom rules too.
Or make it so that you can block off a section of .htaccess using specific
comments to tell WP don't modify this section of .htaccess.
