I understand the technical limitation of anaconda which explains why
this does not currently work. I disagree with Jesse's use of the
'minimal' definition to rationalize that it not working is perfectly
normal and okay. I'd say it's rather an undesired but fairly minor
limitation which, in a perfect world, ought to be fixed; it's not the
behaviour we actually desire or intend.
