The short answer is no, its not even allowed in the design.

The longer answer is that someone posted a patchkit that supposedly 
does do that, sometime early last week IIRC.

I'm personally a bit suspicious of it.  And its been almost 
universally ignored or or openly panned.  I did myself, for a 
profound lack of docs in the patch.

Has anyone actually tried it?  If so, speak up and testify please.
