Yep.  And the standard response--about 2 times per year for years--has 
been, if it bothers you enough, we'll be glad to accept the patch you 
submit.  :)

(Though, if it really does bother you enough, you should probably 
discuss your proposed solution on the -dev list--mention you plan to 
code it yourself so the devs will take you seriously--as 
hacks/workarounds are unlikely to be accepted.)
