Interestingly, this was discussed before; i've discovered some old
drafts of mine concerning it.  Also, i see that my work on rewriting
alignment interface would fit nicely with this stuff; i see now how
this should be achieved.  I can make a patch, but i'm busy; some
bounty would increase my motivation ;)  If at least 2 people will
pledge $5 each, i'll write a patch in the next few days - who's
interested?
