We could include it but we'd have to only allow it to appear if the 
containers' layout managers of all of the components parents were of the same 
type.  For some layout managers such as BorderLayout there are more problems 
because for this we show a list the list of available regions + the region 
currently occupied by the component.  If the two components were in different 
containers that were both in BorderLayout creating the list would be hard to 
do.  Bottom line, we excluded it because it requires some tricky code to get 
right and we just ran out of runway.
