We've received a request for this feature from a user who has also supplied a
patch:

The earliest this could go in is 0.12.  We'll consider this for the next

  * **Description** updated (diff)
  * **Priority** changed from _High_ to _Low_

Although we received a patch, the use case is highly particular and highly
technical. And while the change may be simple, I have a concern about testing
and understanding the full ramifications of such a change.
