Comment 12 for bug 503670

I'm thinking about this a lot (see recent thread "plugins vs builtins"), and I think this actually doesn't need to be built in, just easily accessible. A packaged plugin would satisfy this. Also it may enable us to have it work on 2.1 or 2.0.

If Parth as the author strongly prefers it to be builtin, I wouldn't veto it just on the grounds that it _could_ be in a plugin. Otherwise, I suggest we close this as wontfix.

Of course he's still welcome to get code review on the code going into the plugin.
