Yes, I know. Unfortunately my ability to work on Squeak (or anything at
all) at the moment is severely limited. But it will be included in the
next SM version and that will probably be somewhere early november.

example, you can then first apply some filters and then tell it to
pre-cache everything visible with the current filters etc.
