What ... the camera won't let you change the shutter speed, aperture or ISO yourself?
Or, is it that you're reliant on the camera to guess at your exposure for you?

Shooting chromes, bracketing was much more critical. With today's latitude of digital, fine tuned bracketing is really not that necessary in many instances. I think that it would be a better use of one's time to grow their understanding of light than lobbying suits for more features of automation. But, I'm dino like that ... old school.
Graham's approach works for me because if you incident meter the frontlit side of an individual in (Sunny 16) daylight and their shadow side, you'll typically find around a 2.5EV - 3.5EV diff. Knowing that you can just shoot Sunny 16 (assuming those EV15 conditions) and a second shot @ EV 12 and you're covered for both key and shadow.
Imo, it makes more sense to put more effort into programming and applying your brain, rather than lobbying others to programming applications for your camera.

Knowing your EV values for typical lighting can clue you just how much you might need to bracket when you have mixed lighting (e.g. direct sun & open shade) ... one shot for each lighting condition in your scene usually covers it pretty well.
Imo, you should be telling the camera what to do, not the other way around.
