In summary, a three line patch was provided against 0.5.7 which claims to enable this behaviour. Can this be added?

The poster there never created the ticket in question, I suppose since apparently I didn't get to respond to that post. Anyway, that's not a complete patch, so I've taken the time to create a proper patch in 15442ed1f41f1e9b2b1199fa52966c6151ec2592.

Note the patch is against 0.6 not 0.5.7, which the original poster claims is functionality already present (most likely by accident) in 0.5.
