For lazy people like myself, the link to that report is:
<http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=2217>

The full sentence in which RunRev's Oliver Kenyon suggested the need for 
an engine change is worth noting:

   To fix the issue, we will need to make an engine change, possibly
   the addition of a "repeat for each control" loop form.

So rather than something irritating, it's actually quite cool:  imagine 
if we had the ease of iterating through controls so simply.  Nice stuff 
- glad to see they're thinking along those lines.
