BBCode anchors

Say you wanted to link to the middle of a large post. You can't currently do this - the solutions are either to manage without a link, or to use two separate posts. What I was thinking though is this: why not have a BBCode 'anchor' tag? It would work like this: [anchor]example[/anchor] and would translate into HTML roughly as <a id="example"></a>
Later on somewhere you could do this:
[url]http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=66276#example[/url] or [url=http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=66276#example]example[/url] and it would link to the right place in the post.

Please say if you support!

Whoops, I didn't notice. There are tons of BBCode suggestion topics, so the search isn't amazingly helpful.

Not in XHTML. And both work in HTML.
