More than once over the past few weeks it would have been handy for me, and
more than once it would have helped others asking me questions find the
answers themselves, so I'd definitely like to see it go in. I'm not 100%
happy with how it's implemented, but I honestly can't think of any other
way to make it happen without major refactoring of bitbake, so I personally
think it should go in as is, and potentially revisit things in the future.
