Bonita's suggestion is the best until some day when a future verson of TMG
will have the change you requested. Whether that is in TMG5 or some later
version, I can't say nor can anyone else except Wholly Genes. All requests
go on a list for future changes, but when any one change will be
incorporated is not known nor is it even discussed. We find out all at the
same time -- when it is in an announcement.
