It would be possible but I don't think that it is desirable. Such a
scheme would prevent being able to use the same switch in multiple chains.

Again, I'm not in favor of that approach.

It is not currently possible but it is something that I would like to do
and it would be my preferred approach to providing the capability that
you are looking for.
If I can get it implemented in the next week, I'll include it in 4.5.10;
otherwise, it will have to wait for 4.5.11.
