In fact, VFP 7 is full of stuff where that's the case. There are a ton of changes that are absolutely in response to developer requests. Things like a WordWrap property for Headers and the new RowColChange property for grids that tells you what changed. New parameters for ASCAN() that let you specify a column and return the row. Case-insensitivity for a number of functions. Etc., etc., etc.
