You mean, besides the fact that we've not touched that part in a while
(since around Emacs20 or so)?

It's a great suggestion, and patches would be quite welcome!  (it
probably isn't as high on the priority list as a bunch of other
things, including ecb integration (i.e. semantic'ising S/R and SAS). 

Could you file a wishlist bug report on the ESS site at
Savannah.gnu.org?
