You can certainly add "VCF" to your local mangle list.

I'll take it under consideration; I want to minimize the changes made
to 1.0 not that I'm working on 2.0. There are some enhancements to the
macro scanner and a hack to avoid the false-quarantine issue, but
that's all that's in the pipe. 1.0 is reaching the point of
unmaintainability.
