While it's a feature I'd very much like to see, I really don't think
you can consider it a bugfix. It's functionality that was left out -
it's not like we tried to implement it and it didn't work. We pushed
the whole implementation to "next version" (and then forgot about
actually putting it in the next version, until now)
