I don't know about the original idea of William - I mean, how much is it
wanted. I never saw any request similar to this before; so my suspicion is that
that is a very niche use case. Of course, I may be wrong; it would be useful to
see if there is some significant demand; maybe some widely used style guide?

Heiko's idea is *different*; I know for fact that it would be welcome by more
users. However, unless William decides to change the request, Heiko's idea must
be treated separately.
