Yes.  It has been on the todo list but hasn't made
the top.

I don't think it would be difficult to implement but
it would take a bit of time and require adding a test.
The test coverage of the cpukit directories score,
sapi, posix and rtems is ~98.5% and we don't want
any new features to negatively impact that.
