I generally feel the same way as you. My comment about getting it merged was not meant to imply that it shouldn't get merged, but that it might be difficult to. I find it very hard to predict which of these small QoL features will be accepted by the core devs and which features will be rejected for some reason or other.
I strongly disagree with that sentiment as often these simple things have subtle gotchas, and/or subtle differences in possible net effects creating much bigger problems than their diminutive implementations would suggest.
