Can this be expected to be found in the 7.1 snapshot release anytime
soon? Otherwise I would have to continue developing my app on 7.0.x,
which is not so good because eventually I will be requiring TOAST and
I'd like to run into 7.1 related trouble - should there be such a thing
;) - as early as possible.

Many Thanks, Frank
