so this (whatever it is) has been there for 6 years, and no one knew of
it? the same with the "dirty 0" message, which could have been very
helpful when using donecanvasdialog in the past (from 0.43 won't be
important anymore).
since some developers don't do their documentation (for whichever reason
it may be), would it make sense to create a wiki page where they can
delegate that function? for people that don't read code, these features
remain in oblivion until someone more or less by chance stumbles upon
them. I myself can offer to work on the help patches to document new,
obscure and useful functions.
