Describing the syntax/UI for a feature like this is nothing like the architectural drawings for a skyscraper. The architectural drawings for a skyscraper are extremely detailed and describe exactly how to build it including all materials, tolerances, etc. The analogy here is more like you saying you would like a blue skyscraper with 30 windows and a door and then complaining that the idiot constructions crew should stop complaining and just build the thing. There are plenty of things where the UI/syntax description is all that is needed because the implementation is trivial and flows straight from such a description. This doesn't happen to be one of those. -Rasmus
