IB: limit orders for commodity spreads?

CC: @def @kostia00
So in attempts to make IB a better place to trade and a more complete offering for spread traders I finally took the time to sit down and figure out all the stuff that I knew was missing but hadn't actually documented anywhere. The following IB tickets are now open:
T121031: Soy crush exchange traded spread missing
T121028: LE/HE (live cattle/lean hogs) ICS spread missing
T120848: KE/ZC (HRW wheat/corn) and ZW/ZC (SRW wheat/corn) ICS spreads missing
T120843: KE/ZW ICS spread missing
T120840: CSC/DA ICS spread missing
T120559: ICE Heating Oil/Gasoil (aka HOGO) ICS spread missing
T120556: ICE Heating Oil/Brent and Heating Oil/WTI crack spreads missing
T120552: ICE RBOB/Gasoil and RBOB/NYH Heating Oil ICS spreads missing
T120475: ICE RBOB/Brent crack spread missing
T102600: SGX RSS3 Rubber Futures
T102587: 20 year bond futures on SNFE
T102585: 90 day New Zealand bank bill futures and options on SNFE
I've also got this ticket which has been sitting around for nearly 6 months still unresolved:
T825569: Not able to attach stop to exchange traded ICS or combos
IB even verified it and it's still a non-starter even in the latest beta. The odd thing is that I could have sworn these used to work. Try it yourself by attempting to place a stop order on any ICS spread (e.g. COIL.WTI, RB.CL, etc).
For multiple reasons I'm not doing as much trading right now, but rather than just take my account and go elsewhere I figured I'd atleast make an honest effort to help improve things before giving up.
