To be honest, I don't know. I was just relaying what was said in the
past, I'm not using macOS myself. If there is something more intuitive
for users, it's worth a shot but I'd like to ask for a clear motivation
*from the user perspective* before integrating it. I've tried quite
hard to keep things as simple as possible, and I think we should only
make it more complicated if there is a benefit...

This, for example, looks quite hard / complicated to integrate into the
infrastructure we have right now. On the other hand, if it's only text
files and a bit of file moving / directory structure magic, that's a
different story.
