[Tweener] Getting tween target values

I've run into a problem with tweener. There seems to be a feature
missing. Currently there doesn't seem to be a way to get the end
target value of a specific tweening. I see the getTweens method, but
it only returns the names of the properties being tweened. It seems
like there should be another method called getTweenTarget where you
would pass the object, and property name and it would tell you where
the property is going to end up when the tween is complete and
possibly the time left until it arrives (maybe this should be another
method or maybe tweener should also be able return all the tween
parameters acting on an object).
I'm working on a class/package that needs to know the final tween
target position internally. It is easy enough to store the target
position within the class before the tweening, but in this case my
class needs to be made to account for tweens added both internally
and added outside of the class by the end developer. In this case it
is impractical to ask the end developer to pass target values into my
class every time a tween is added externally to my class (but maybe
for the the current implementation, this is what I will do).
I've run into this issue before. Within this project there are
several places that would benefit from the added feature. In general
I think it would make applications simpler if it weren't required to
store such tween parameters in a variable every time we might need to
retrieve them.
Please, all, let me know what you think. Am I missing something? Does
this seem like an issue that should be resolved?
Thanks to all! Tweener rocks, life would suck without it!
