I've never seen a quick release gear cable join. As it's possible to slacken the gear cable, and IGH wheels have been around for well over a century, i do wonder why.
Sturmey Archer hubs often had wing nuts back in the day, yet still the cable had to be unscrewed. One of my SA-geared bikes has a side-slot cable join, but the pinch nut has to be removed for it to be parted!
