These are missing features in Nautilus. People started on them, but they
didn't get done for 1.0.

This is a missing feature, yes. And it wouldn't be too hard for someone to
add it to Nautilus. I understand that it's a feature you really like in gmc,
and I'm sorry no one contributed the corresponding feature for Nautilus.

I'd greatly appreciate any help you can offer to get this feature
implemented for future versions of Nautilus.
