Fortunately or unfortunately RR has decided to make itself as
compatible as possible with preceding tools, in which this was a
feature.  Of course I don't know how much RR can or wants to modify
the MC engine, either.

Sign up for the feature request blog and post it.  I'm pretty sure
before I sleep-crashed into my KB last night that I posted something
about this on the Tao blog.

And God said, "This is good."
