I hate to keep chiming in here with the same info, but:

Your suggestion? 84876 does (or can do) that.

Wonderful, isn't it?

"Well then! When will that patch get in, goshdarnit!" you ask? Right after 
2.17.5 ships.

Since no one really wanted to review the huge-ish patch and it's a big, 
potentially destablizing change, Dave and I decided to put it in and 
"see what happens" after 2.17.5 ships.
