The notion that this is a first time that the Babel template has been
discussed is flatly wrong. MinuteElection has discussed this on IRC on
several occasions. Pathoschild acknowledges that it has been discussed in
the past but he chose to go his own way. In the mean time this functionality
provides a better mouse trap and as such it deserves to be implemented.
Thanks,

The notion that a discussion on IRC can get the range of views and
insight a mailing list can is also flatly wrong.
It was _not_ brought up publicly (on mailing lists, etc.), and thus the
community lacked the chance to give input. I saw commit messages
go by for an extension, but I do not automatically go look into it
(many extensions are of no interest to me, I would not, for example,
pay attention to a commit to the YouTube extension). Had I known
this was coming, I might've been more inclined to follow along and
comment before now.
