I'm sorry for delay with my reply.

The next Firefly version, version 8.2.0 will be publicly available
in the middle of September. Unfortunately I cannot introduce
the changes you are asking for directly in this version.
The reason is that it's code was frozen about two weeks ago
and now we are only searching for bugs and fixing them.
I'm afraid that changing code to implement your suggestions
would require extra testing for which we unfortunately do not
have enough time now.

Instead, I promise you that the next minor update Firefly version
released after version 8.2.0, namely version 8.2.1 will incorporate
the changes you have suggested.

All the best,
Alex
