addition of option for target="_blank" to l()

i think there should be added not only the "target" attribute, but a general purpose (array of) attributes parameter. which could be called like

l("linktext",
  $args,
  array(
    "title" => "the title"
    , "target" => "_blank"
    , "name" => "an_anchor"
    //, "class" => "a-css-class"
    //, "style" => "text-decoration: none; "
    // there are 30 more attributes possible for <a> ;)
  ),
  $script)
)

implementation is straightforward (should i provide a patch?)

where is the <pre> allowed html tag?!

as ax suggested, l(), la(), and lm() now accept an associative array called $attribs which will be used as attributes in the tag.
