It should be possible, it has been discussed before and
nobody has gotten around to coding it...
The previous times we discussed this, we had bugfixes and
other stuff to worry about, but now that most of the system
seems stable, there might be someone who's able to code
this. OTOH, schools and universities all over the world
have started again...
