Yeah, the reason is quite simply that the way it works for the easy interface
cannot be made to work for the multi interface since the handle may/will no
longer have any connection cache to search through.

So, the functionality would have to be implemented slightly different to work
there.

I can't say I have come up with any other great means to do this, but then I'm
also not doing this myself so I've had very little reason to ponder about this
problem area.
