Yup, this is definitely an area that is going to get added for v2.

It looks like I will probably be focusing attention on it just after I get back from SIGGRAPH.

It's a pretty in-depth area that will involve a lot of UI work, so it will probably take a little while before it is complete, like it will probably stretch out over a couple of months and a few beta releases.

But it is definitely planned to be a major focus area for v2, I just haven't quite gotten started on it yet.
