Agreed!

Kristof pointed out to me this issue some time ago had been brought up in the eZ Components Mailing List in a rather 'thick' / long thread message,

I think this can be and should be addressed in Exponential separate from eZ Components.

I too have longed for this negative feature to be addressed for far too long.
