Since you asked ... I'd definitely love to see methods for Convex  
Quadratic programming in the interface. This is something most of the  
solvers do anyway, and it should be pretty straightforward to figure  
out a way of doing it which does not break backward compatibility  
(since LP is QP with Q = 0).

I was supposed to be one who make the first proposal and a draft  
implementation, but the attempts I made never got to the point where  
they could be distributed. Sorry about that. So, my only role by now  
in the matter is that of the pesky beggar. Yet QP (and beyond) is all  
the rage nowadays, so maybe other people will find it useful.
