It is legal, I'm just not sure it makes sense. Isn't the virtual channel

At first I had allowed it, but then I decided against and removed it. I
don't mind adding it back though, the argument against is not strong.

Right, very good suggestion. I'll split this patch in two and will
add them for everyone to use.
Thank you,
