I sort of agree, but it's currently documented like I implemented it
(afaics), so it's a simple thing to include.

I feel a bit bad for not having done a full patch with test-cases and
.bki modifications etc., but it seemed a pretty daunting task (for my
schedule at least).

Hope someone can use it though.
