 From my perspective that's not be a bad addition but
I don't know how gnarly it is to add the enhancement.
A MEP should be written for the new feature.

I was thinking there have been quite a few new features
added to 0.8 to date.

New items in 0.8:
    * modbv
    * signal optimization (speed enhancements)
    * benchmarking
    * modelsim vpi
    * VCD timescale
    * document updates
    * MEP 108
    * Trace list of signals in VCD
    * always_seq

The branch is approaching 200 change sets.

Possible items for 0.9:
    * MEP107
    * Initial value support / Pre-init RAM
    * fxintbv
    * <others I am unaware of>

The list for 0.9 are items I have been involved with.
I am sure there are others I am not aware of.

The push for a release is somewhat selfish.  I am using
quite a bit of features from the 0.8-dev branch.  And
it would be nice to have a release I can point to for
my development work.
