Yeah, this will hopefully happen eventually, but why not add a big fat
plus of our own? I'd be supportive of that, anyway.
I suppose one worry is that people are used to the hierarchical model of
items, it won't occur to them that add-to-collection isn't going to
move-my-item-out-of-this-collection. Making a big fat plus isn't going
to solve that problem.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey
