But wow. That is one buried bit of functionality. Might WRI intend to expose this is a more intuitive place, or do they think it's already appropriately placed? Or perhaps it's experimental, and so hidden to not induce user dependencies? (Anyone?) Given the obvious improvements in the Options Explorer with version 6 (or was it earlier?), it is probably a well-founded hope that such devices will slowly migrate to the surface of the Front End.
