No, I wasn't, but there were others at the NG who were.
It was suggested that such a feature be incorporated in TW2 (I don't know if any of them knew about this patch).
I think it was concluded (or taken as a given) that making this possible while playing a level would be inappropriate, as it would be possible to cheat. There was some discussion about enabling it during replays, but my opinion then and now is that that shouldn't be allowed either. As mentioned above, achieving it involves a trivial code change - which somebody who knew how to build the program could apply. But I don't think that it should be published in an official version.
- Madhav.
(Edit: I was interested in a feature to pan the view area during replay - just after I'd made KW #7 and before TW2 came about.)
