Other people have asked for/suggested this previously, but it seems no
one has actually done it yet, so if it is functionality you desire,
I'd strongly suggest implementing it in a way that you like, and then
contributing it back.

You might want to check JIRA to make sure a bug hasn't already been
filed for this issue, so you can attach your code patch to the proper
issue, or make a new one if none exists.
