Does it matter?

I'm writing a plug-in, that displays the current to-do task + some other
info in the title bar.

I suppose it matters because if the capability is not there, they might or might
not make the engineering effort to put it there, depending on the perceived
usefulness. I assume IDEA will never be exactly like Eclipse, so there
will always be things a plugin simply cannot do.

Yes, I was asking this to better estimate priority of adding such
possibility into Open API.
