Ok, so I might have misunderstood you on the original post. I had the 
impression, you were about to issue a warning in the DRC window no matter 
what. Now, it seems to me more like an actual check and a text warning in 
the DRC window if a short is detected. Does this paraphrase your branch 
correctly?
If so, I'd be very happy to see this hit git/head!
