I agree that this is a useful feature to have, and this has come up before.
However, it doesn't follow from the spec (which is admittedly ambiguous),
and it's new feature work. If this is a requirement for a customer project
"soon", you might need to look at contributing that feature.

In any case, if there is a deadline for this please communicate this to us
so we can try to schedule it appropriately.

For a possibly-reusable example of this from the joule images, see:
