This is not for me to say authoritatively, but I'm unaware of any
specific use case that cannot be solved without this feature addition,
and any further complexity to BaseTools should be strongly justified.
"More convenient" is too vague for me, and the BaseTools code is already
hard to read and debug.

That's just my opinion, again.

Thanks
