Sorry, I though more than the 8 of my requests got closed. As for the 
items one by one:

As for font metrics, the request was for getting /and/ setting the values.

The request was for a native "atan" function. Since the function doesn't 
exist, I can't see how it's an "existing feature".

There was no duplicate request. One request was for metadata inside the 
image metatag parameters. The other request was for scene data overlaid 
on top of the image.

That's the only request anyone "prompted" me about as far as I can see. 
Judging by the other replies people seem to have understood the request 
properly.

I'm willing to discuss things, but if no one replies other than one-line 
closing message there's not much I can do.
