Yeah, I think we talked about adding something, however we had some
trouble figuring the best place for it to exist.  Usually when you're
not sure where and item should live, it results in your users not sure
where they can find it.  It's not that the invention would have been a
bad thing to have around, but we wanted to try for a directly related
method to getting to it.  *shrug*
