[syslinux] Three questions/feature requests

I have three questions. If these are not currently possible, consider
it a feature request:
1. Is it possible to create label aliases, such that one label will
simply use the configuration of another, without having to completely
copy the configuration. It would also be great if these aliases could
cross INCLUDE boundaries, such that a label can call a label defined in
an included file.
2. Is there a way, outside of the menu system, that all available
labels could be listed for a user?
3. Is it possible to nest APPENDs such that many common labels could
have a template APPEND, and then add custom appends for each label. It
would be especially cool if these could be nested on multiple levels,
such that a label append could be appended to a sub-group append, which
could be appended to a global append, etc. At least it would be nice to
have a separate global append per included file. Right now if a file
with labels included, and a second file with a global append is included
second, the append that should be global in the second file is used only
as an append for the last label in the previous file, overriding any
label defined in the first included file. This doesn't seem like ideal
behavior.
Thanks,
