Regardless, my comment stands. It's a layer of abstraction. The point of a
layer of abstraction is to "HIDE" the details that, in this case, probably
covers about 95+% of peoples needs.

It's a very small issue and your initial post made it sound like the entire
framework is defective because it doesn't support your particular need.
