Yes, this is something which could be added.  It's a problem I've been
aware of and wanted to fix.  (The issue at the moment is having the
time to do it now that the end of the semester is here!

The extender line certainly should have this capability, but I'm in
doubt about the frame itself.  Would it make sense to insist that the
frame be confined to a single line?
