Comment (by alpmestan):

 I went ahead and implemented Simon's first suggestion (quick and dirty
 way), as this is what I would personally want to have, I think. The patch
 is indeed very, very small:
 https://gist.github.com/alpmestan/50a0a00ebf4208c8ae898f84d6b41e07

 Would people be happy with this patch (modulo nicer formatting and
 possible review feedback)?
