I still do not get this use case at all, and almost nobody (that can present a rational, coherent story about it to me) is asking for it.

So like.. a porn category, or something? I really do not get this at all and never have.

The cited topics are _incredibly_ weak, @scombs. Not a reflection on you, just that I honestly find the arguments for this “need” to be extraordinarily thin. Color me utterly unconvinced. Where is the killer app here? Heck where is the modestly convincing app?
