Yes, it does not exist yet. :) I'm trying out various scenarios here to 
understand what you need and how we can fix it.

I have opened https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8201485, however 
to be frank, it is of quite low priority (infrequence and odd use case, 
workaround exists) so I assume it will take a while before I or anyone 
else comes around to it.
