Thanks a lot for your suggestions, but (as you can see from the list) we have a lot of other things to do 
and adding new pretty looking features from other languages is the last thing in my personal TODO list.

There are two ways to add a new feature I know of:
1) to convince the developers that it's terribly critical to have this feature (which I doubt is possible) 
or rouse their interest in some other way;
2) to do it yourself, probably with some help from the developers.

I believe the second way is and will stay the best ever.
And it's not about your CVS karma, this is how Open Source works.

Also, every time you suggest a new feature, you should remember that it would 
appear on shared hostings in no less than 3-5 years.
This is quite critical issue for most of the people, but they tend to forget about it.
