Hold your horses!  That is not the way to look at a adding complexity
to a basic Lisp construct.

Every additional feature added to a fundamental construct increases
the complexity of the Lisp language.  That always has various kinds of
cost whether it is used or not.  Since this added feature would rarely
be of use, it would have cost and no benefit.

Please do not add this feature.
