I'd suggest that it already exists via migration. Running a migration job with the source and destination pools set to the same value, and specifying a selection criteria of volume occupancy threshold < some value would accomplish the same effect if you set the occupancy threshold to < 1%. You'd also get the side effect of consolidating the volumes in the pool to a smaller number at the same time. > 2.
