@Adrian - I agree with you it's an interesting feature to have, but unfortunately the Inkscape contributors are already pretty busy fixing bugs and other wishlist items they estimate have an higher priority. Don't forget that Inkscape development relies on enthusiasts developing on their spare time.
Of course, it would be great if someone (maybe you?) could share a patch...
