Comment (by kda406):

 @swissspidy You are missing the point.  Many people need this and have
 been requesting it for ''8 years'' now.  Enhancements - no I'm going to
 call this a '''fix''' because it should have been in there from the
 beginning.  '''Fixes''' with wide spread need which have been long
 awaited, should have developer precedence.

 When a new version of WordPress comes out, I always read to see if they
 have '''fixed''' this problem yet.  Then I am disappointed when I learn
 they have wasted precious coding time and resources for unimportant
 "improvements".

 Security related patches are the only things that should have higher
 priority over widely needed, log awaited '''fixes''' like this one.
