I once proposed (unoficially and orally) such an intrinsic,
and Phillip has basically sumarized the reply I got. It was
obvious that this had been discussed before. I didn't pursue
it further (with questions like "well how about the easy cases;
that would still be useful". Such questions occurred to me, but
it didn't seem worth arguing further at the time).
