It didn't seem like anybody had any opinions here...  My feeling is that
the current system has the flexibility needed for different use cases,
and as you demonstrated in your example, you can work with the current
system to make it do what you want it to.

So I don't think we should change anything here, and I'm therefore
closing this bug report.  If others think that this is something that
should be revised, please respond to the debbugs address and we'll reopen.
