 User 'ttestt' (Nikolay Zatsenko) submitted a patch to me to partially
 support these features. I am attaching a modified version of this patch to
 here for record of the enhancement, though I would suggest that these
 improvements could be better directed to the new labelling infrastructure.
 Either way, some refinement is needed before being able to incorporate
 these changes into trunk since the patch has code style issues and api
 breakage (though the latter is minimised now with my changes to his
 original patch).

 I like the general idea of Nikolay's patch and it would be great to see
 something like this supported in QGIS in the future.
