I created a patch (#1515361) intended to do just that.

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1515361&group_id=5470&atid=305470

Unfortunately, something appears to be misconfigured in my ISP's mail

you may not have noticed Guido's re-posting of my message announcing the
patch.
