Fair point, and certainly a good idea worth exploring further. I'll see what "damage control" I can do from last week's reorg efforts and then reassess the direction we should take moving forward. I'm grateful to know about this gap as a 'better late than never' proposition, but sure do wish it wasn't a gap at all, since it does seem like a rather obvious use case...
