I think something gets lost when we call this kind of shortcoming a missing feature... A missing feature is too easy to dismiss since we can mention all these scary words like "paralytic featur-itis." The fix here involves no new dialogs, no additional learning curve, nothing fancy whatsoever. It's just a case of absent-minded application design, and the point stands that it makes a tremendous difference in the end product.
