Thank you for your quick relay. I understood this is useful for you.

But, as Tony said, I think this is a low priority because 
there is a side effect for end users.
If they unload ramoops by mistake, messages will be lost.

In my opinion, we have to consider whether each feature 
is truly needed for end users (not for developers).
