I have some ideas, but I don't know exactly what Tres is working on and 
what the discussions of the next 2 weeks (CMF 2.0 roadmap, CMF/Five 
sprint) will bring. So I just could speculate at the moment.

I didn't mean that the refactorings will bring such a functionality out 
of the box. I just said I'm hopeful that implementing it becomes easier.

Yes. That should be perfectly safe.
