It could certainly be done quite easily, and it's been discussed many
times.  See, for instance, CR 6538146.

I don't really agree with the evaluation of that bug, because
standards compliance is _never_ a good reason to avoid supporting an
optional feature that someone wants.  But I do somewhat support
closing it out as "will not fix," as it'd be a foolish thing to
implement, and providing sufficient caveats for the documentation
would be hard.  It'd be a call generator, at least.
