And would make it more dangerous at the same time. As is were pointed in
this thread, such a feature would only give a false feeling of security.

Think of the simple situation when your kid accidentally delete your
file. Maybe all of them. Will any kind of encryption protect your
important data? A separated account will protect you against this kind
of accidents with no effort. In fact, it protects _all_  your data with
a single setup.
