Hence there is no point in spamming the issue tracker by creating new duplicates over and over, discussion and sharing opinions should be continued in already existing threads, new threads will be labeled as invalid
or duplicate
and closed.
Though, after this big pile of requests over years, as a rare exception, the following 2 scriptlets have been recently implemented:
