True. I plan on adding them.

Better to refer to it as an issue? I know they're not bugs, but I
can't think of a generic term that would work across all sites. On
Sourceforge they're referred to as tickets, on Github issues. Which is
better or more accurate to use?

y'see the fact that this wasn't on the bug/issue/feature tracker
suggested to me that no one else wanted to see these features
implemented. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Correct, but with code/object insertion this wouldn't be an issue at
all and there would be no blackouts.
