When reporting bugs, it's generally better to concentrate on describing a problem, and leave suggested solutions (if any) to the end. Assuming a solution often results in a bug report drifting until it gets marked Invalid because a different solution was chosen. Or it clumps together problems that could reasonably be fixed separately, in a way that makes duplicates harder to find and less likely to get fixed.

In this case, you are describing four separate proposed changes that would almost certainly be implemented one at a time. In particular, (1) is reported as bug 794565, (2) is reported as bug 607676, and (3) is reported as bug 775744. So, I suggest revising this bug report to describe (with examples) the problem that you think (4) would solve. In the meantime, I'm marking this as Incomplete and unmarking the duplicates.
