I thought the question was oblique enough to mask my true intentions
so that the actual implementation would surprise everyone.  But, wow,
you just nailed it!  Fortunately, I don't think anyone has yet devised
my hidden agenda for the proposed animated paperclip feature!

In slightly more serious news, there was one feature proposal I added
to the survey, then before uploading the change I decided it was cool
enough to implement it no matter what anyone else thinks :).  Keep an
eye out in the next week.

Cheers,

PS:  That survey URL, again, is
