Full vs. Half Steps

Hello

I was asking myself why the standard Stepper.h library that comes with the Arduino software does not support halfstepping. If I have a look at the code, it says that it supports the following sequence for a four wired stepper motor:

 * Step C0 C1 C2 C3
 *    1  1  0  1  0
 *    2  0  1  1  0
 *    3  0  1  0  1
 *    4  1  0  0  1

Is there a reason why it doesn't support this?

 * Step C0 C1 C2 C3
 *    1  1  0  0  0
 *    2  1  0  1  0
 *    3  0  0  1  0
 *    4  0  1  1  0
 *    5  0  1  0  0
 *    6  0  1  0  1
 *    7  0  0  0  1
 *    8  1  0  0  1

Thanks

Feel free to modify the library and add the option.
