To the best of my knowledge this is still something that cannot be
done. It did come up exactly one year ago in the somewhat infamous
thread "Philosophical Differences"[1]. You might search the
bugs/feature requests on the Reductive Labs site and if you don't find
it you should request it, as I'm pretty sure this would be a useful
thing to have.
Cheers,
