It would hardly be a pain in the ass and it doesn't require a
"redesign".
It requires an upward-compatible extension with, basically, just a few
tweaks. I think that the problem is roughly on the scale of writing
or changing, perhaps, 1000-2000 lines of code.
To be sure, it's a change that has to be made carefully and testing
activity should be included in the effort -- we have most of the tools
for that already.
Me personally? My plate is full right now. It's going to be a while
before I spontaneously decide to hack-for-spaces just as something to
do. But nobody should let that stop them from working up a patch.
Arguing whether or not its a desirable feature is pretty much beside
the point.
