Comment:

 This is a useful feature, indeed.

 Implementing this is not trivial, since it will have to change some of the
 logic that parses `Bridge` lines and `ClientTransportPlugin` lines. I
 think I will move this to 0.2.5.x, since it's a small feature and it's too
 late for 0.2.4.x.

 (This is another feature that does not go well with #3725.)
