tbh, i think that it adds Yet Another Exception Rule to the language, and this does no good in the long run. "oh, you generally cannot do that, except if today is Friday, it is rainy, and you've seen pink unicorn at the morning." the more exceptions to general rules language has, the more it reminds Dragon Poker game from Robert Asprin books. any exception will usually have a strong rationale behind it, of course, so it will be a little reason to not accept it, especially if we had accepted some exceptions before. i think it is better to not follow that path, even if this one idea looks nice.
