I have considered it, yes. But it does not entirely make sense as a 
per bone option, since it is about interpolation between bones, so it 
is something you would want to tweak per joint, but that is not 
clearly defined here. It could be done per bone, using quats if any or 
all bones have it set, or maybe mixing both interpolation types. I 
don't know how useful that would be in practice.. it will depend on 
the feedback I get.
