Should Implications Plugin Create Implied Request Prior To Approval?

Suppose you have 2 relationship types, Friend and Best Friend, and that Best Friend implies Friend. Currently, if I send you a Best Friend request, the Friend "request" isn't generated until you approve the Best Friend request, and the Friend "request" is automatically approved. That means you don't have the option of approving only the Friend request, but disapproving the Best Friend request.

If the implications module created an unapproved Friend request at the time the Best Friend request was created, then you would have the option of approving the Friend request, but disapproving the Best Friend request, which may be desirable, at least in some cases.

Jeff, what are your thoughts about this "enhancement"?
