Yes, easily:  Noone with a sufficient interest has had the time to code
it yet.  Remember Dia is done on a volunteer basis entirely.  Bugs we
will look into, but enhancements are on a first-itching-first-scratched
basis.  We're happy to accept patches, though.

I for one would be willing to code specific things for money, but of
course only things that I would accept as patches in the first place
(e.g. not turning Dia into a word processor:)  But please don't berate
us for not having implemented your favorite enhancement for free.

P.S.  I'm transitioning my mail over from lrclause@cs.uiuc.edu, this is
my new address.  Hopefully this will improve my bug handling, as I no
longer will have to read by by running an Emacs remotely across the
Atlantic.
