I never thought about this (or needed it). Did you?

If there's consensus on introducing it I only see two problems:

 * choosing a good name :)
 * making it work on non-conforming compilers
   (I have to say of all compilers I tried my straightforward
    implementation on, only gcc could handle it, which is quite
    discouraging for such a trivial piece of code)
