Could [feature X] be included? Probably yes, at a cost. Perhaps
Borland do not think the benefit justifies the cost. Would including
[feature X] let them raise the price or sell more copies?

Should [feature X] be included? Hard to say. For every peron who
complains that it is missing there is another person who complains
about ever-larger executables to support features they don't need.
Would including [feature X] please more people than it would annoy?

Will [feature X] be included in future? Maybe. Perhaps there are/have
been other priorities and Borland just haven't got round to it yet.
