This has been requested many times, and users are begging for it. PG, is there a reason why it's not implemented? If the implementation is hard, then maybe you can use Google or bigheadlabs's solution!

As I recall he plans to do it, but wants to spend the time to make it good (and we can assume he doesn't have many big chunks of free time).

In general, yes. In news.yc's case, no.
