Good grief, others have been doing that for nearly 20 years! :)
Best regards

The comment from Prabawa made me chuckle:

"You mean they took something that somebody else has invented years ago, announce it with fanfare, and put a premium in it? Apple is going to sue Canon for copying their business strategy ;)"

It's about time. When you have Sausage Fingers like me it is downright awkward removing a lens cap with a hood in place. Now all Canon need to do is reduce their ridiculously overpriced L series lenses!!

Geoff, I completely disagree with your comment on L Series lenses. They are that price for a reason and worth every penny I paid for the two I have. The difference between a kit lens, an EF lens and and an L series lens is staggering.
