Actually, this is supported already, for those who have the patience to work with such minutia. You can chop the wing up into as many separate "vstab" objects as you like, each with an independant configuration. The point of handling washout as a separate concept is that (counter to my original thought) it turns out to be important for all aircraft with high aspect wings, not only those with hyper-realist authors. :) In fact, adding a "tip section" to the cessna wing with a different incidence value would be an immediately useful way to test washout effects.
