[Templates] New VMethod?

I'm curious if others have had this issue enough to warrant a common new
VMethod (or altering an existing one).

It's quite common for me to deal with lists of hashes in my database
apps (representing results from my DB queries).  I suspect that's true
for many people.

Quite often the templates want to deal with a list of the values of a
particular key.  For example, the code returns a list of hashes.  The
template might just display that, or might want to offer select boxes
of the various fields.  In the latter case, I want to have some easy way
to deal with that data without dropping "programming" into the template
and confusing my designers.

I'm thinking something like:

[% FOREACH Item = Items.values("email").unique %]
  #do something
[% END %]

Do others also run into this?
