Will you add support for Readability/Mercury to read full articles without opening them on the web?

lire has it's own full-text engine, which means lire does not need Readability or Mercury to read full articles without opening them on the web. It can not only open full-text of articles online to read, it even has the ability to download full-text beforehand, and save them in cache to read at a later time.
