Lol, we've discussed adding it. The current opinion seems to be that it is 'too good' right now, though. The problem is that the tools the Baker Lab is coming up with are getting much better, but the score function isn't getting better at the same rate.

So we have these great new tools, but without a proper score function to guide them, they just cause us to get really great scores on any structure, which actually hurts more than it helps.

GIMME DA TOOL! :P
Create beta puzzle that allow this tool (like cut tool limitations) and let us test it :)
Just duplicate any other puzzle we have at the moment to compare results.

There's a lot of work involved in getting the tool implemented in Foldit, and we're prioritizing other things right now. If the Baker Lab manages to improve the score function, we'll consider this option more seriously, but it's on the shelf for now.
