derailleur cable -- why does it have to go in the back?

Cleaning the bike last night I started thinking about this...with all the shifter-cable issues (length, weight, hanging out a loop back there that could snag) has anyone ever tried to design a derailleur with the cable coming in the other side, near the front of the bike? Is it possible?
