   Really :-)   
      
   Although I said it would be nice to have such a feature, I'm not convinced    
   that it's actually needed. In addition, I feel that it would be an    
   absolute nightmare to implement.

   I know the feeling well because when I first offered to maintain the    
   English resources, I thought it would be a doddle but here we are some 20    
   years later and they're still nothing like finished. Even though they're    
   plain ascii text files, I inherited a mess and they're a nightmare to work    
   on.   
      
   Regards,
