Subject: possible micro module?

Sorry to interrupt the current discussion of the pros and cons of schematics.
I was thinking today how nice it would be to have several more sample and hold modules in any given system (I think it's an under appreciated and under utilized module). Though the 101s aren't expensive at all, they only supply one S/H per module and some elaborate random/noise functions, of which one probably wouldn't need more than a few in any system.
What I was thinking was a 1U module with six jacks (S/H in, S/H out, external pulse in) and 3 knobs (2 S/H attenuators, and internal clock rate) -- two independent basic S/H units sharing a common clock which would be defeated by inserting a jack into the external pulse input of each S/H.
With this module and an 820 one could get the VC sample and hold that I had proposed a long time ago.
