It is now, if you apply Manual Lemos's patch. It will be supported
out-of-the-box when someone with CVS access decides to commit it.

This could easily be handled by logging the correct information from
Apache, as well.

Because nobody with CVS access apparently feels strongly about it to
test it and apply it. It also happens to muck about in a piece of
code that scares many small children, and addresses something that
isn't an issue to a great many people.

It is. That's why you can take Manuel Lemos's patch and apply it to
your own copy of PHP and use it if you trust it. Ever tried applying
a third-party source patch to Microsoft's ASP?
