  This issue was battled over on AppleLink for a while.  Turns out that the
Human Interface people did a great deal of user interface testing, and it
appeared to them that this kind of thing confused all but the most capable
power users.

  So, it's not going in, even though some people inside and out of Apple
have asked for it.  I suspect they're making the right decision because it
keeps the idea much less complicated and much closer to the existing Apple
menu.
