Sure, I do understand, and I do loads of dialogue cleaning, so know this is valuable. And yes I think it is a valuable feature to have in Reaper.
My issue is using what is available in PT as any kind of a benchmark. I believe PT is the most powerful DAW, & is certainly what one has to master as a young effective & employable professional in the UK post for Film/TV market. But I don't have to play that game any more, I'm an old pro, i have been there, done that but am very interested in new technology. If the "Emperor" has no clothes, I can say so. IMO PT does more than any other DAW but Badly.
Eg As I wrote the PT pencil tool is so VERY far from what I can achieve in Samplitude, Adobe Audition or with with Cedar plugins to be a bit of a bad joke. Conversely bad "tools" in the hands of a dedicated pro can yield way better results than great tools in the hands of a lesser mortal. But PT is a VERY bad tool & a very bad model, why put up with this?

In any event, this is already moving forward in Reaper at the following thread through the efforts of Jedstar2000 and Fuseburn:

Here is a video with an idea of the actions involved:
