I'll be the second; I needed it last week.

I was able to get by for my particular problem, because the full range of
keys is well-known, so I could make a table of those to drive a series of
outer joins.

The work around referenced in other posts is useful in a pinch, though it
would be messy in my case because I am joining 4 tables.
