@joranbeasley I just realized that this PR is a duplicate PR of #1203.

As mentioned in my comment on that PR, I'd like to nonetheless credit you in the changelog for taking the time to make the PR. As such, I will close this PR once the other is merged. That said, you'll be listed alongside @xujiboy for the effort you took here.
