I don't think that's implemented, but imho it certainly is a reasonable
feature request to consider.... (however, I'm not the one to ask, which
brings me to your second point)

Don't know how many subscribers there are, but in case of gretl I'd say
it's uncorrelated with development activity, which is far above of what
you would expect from the pretty low volume of this list. Look at the
user guide and you find the two guys doing all the work.

Again I don't know, but why is that important to you? Anything else
except Anova that the current gretl doesn't do?
(Although actually it may be important because Allin and Jack said that
in future versions it will be easier for users like you and me to add
functionality through a revamped scripting plugin interface!)
