Very, very valid point. "While not necessary, the utility of the
feature is sufficient to overcome the philosophical desire to restrict
feature creep."

Sorry, that's enough to persuade me that "in the core, but not active
by default." Although, (this shows some of my naivete in IT) would it
not be better to have it as an includable file, rather than have the
weight of the code in memory--in terms of optimizing. Or, is that
getting carried away?
