An enhancement that makes one thing easier and another harder isn't
really an enhancement.  Adding more and more specific features makes
the code less useful for other specific things that were not
previously envisioned.

But really, there's no reason to build it in underneath because it can
be done so easily with callbacks.  You can do the 'archive' trick in
about 50 lines (30 of my whitespace-impaired lines ;-).  A similar
example already exists in the documentation.  Perhaps this can serve
as another near-trivial example.
