It's not that much more change. And if we add this now and then the
implementation for the other feature, we'll have duplicate/conflicting
options, which is also not nice. We can deprecate this option then of
course and later drop, but why not just go for the more complete
solution directly? Or at least a solution that can be built upon for
adding that feature later?
