I’ll definitely post a WIBNI (Wouldn’t It Be Nice If) topic at the Brainstorm Forum—if David Tebbutt hasn’t seen your post and created one already.

However, in addition to the multiple Throw, I think the “levelize” / “flatten” functionality is equally useful. This has already been included in the WIBNI and in fact can be accomplished in Brainstorm through exporting and re-importing, but I’m sure it would be much better to have a separate direct command for it.
